Re: [RBW] Re: New-to-me: 59cm Roadeo

I have very distinct memories of the "feel" of certain bikes owned 10 or more years ago; heck, even close to 30 years ago. That is, certain qualities stood out when I rode them, and I remember those qualities now. The memories do not at all make up a complete "handling evaluation;" my point is that

I get into sandals as soon as the weather warms up, and I do as much of my riding in them as possible. I rode D2R2 the last two years in sandals, but did not see anyone else. Maybe it's more West Coast. I tried Merrells for two seasons, both broke at the same place, so I will use the last credit

I still wear Tevas. Based on the suggestions (Bedrocks and Chacos so far), I'd opt for the Chacos with no toe loop.
