Hm, asking Bay Area bikers for bike rental recommendations might be a little like asking them for a hotel recommendation. Maybe Yelp? This would be a great bloggish database: best bike rentals, by city. Box Dog Bikes has a cool blog occasionally chronicling interesting road/trail rides, like thi

I've got a pair on my Bike Friday NWT and they work pretty well. I've done long rides (75+ miles) with no ill effect. They are pretty good in wet weather though I've still slipped from time to time (though not as often I think). I don't find that they completely keep my feet in one position as the
