Have to agree that we don't hang on anything. That's the realm of the
trendy. If anything, we're retrogeeks, the total opposites of trendy. We
got here on our own, and like Grant's copy because he puts our own thoughts
into words that we hadn't taken the trouble to write down.

Absolutely correct! Furthermore, all these folks that hang on Grant's
words to either agree or disagree. I don't get it.
It's not like we hang out or anything, but over the years, all the way
back to the BOB days, I've had some really nice chats with Grant. I
find him to be a pretty nice guy.
This thread seems to have deviated from the title, but it's interesting
anyway. I've ridden clipped in (mountain bike shoes) and found it
comfortable. The mountain bike shoes had a stiff sole and the pedals were
Shimano m545, which have a cage that offers great foot support. I did over
20,000
I went back to platform a couple of years ago. No toe clips just bmx style
pedals and I love them. I speak for myself in that. Platforms are better for
me and I see no perceptible performance loss.
Several people I know just like being attached. It's nice to have quality
products on both

Thanks Patrick Moore for speaking my mind.
I do not have one cycling friend that agrees on all the nuances that
complicates the category that is bicycle riding.
But we are still friends.
I read Grant's cycling musings and he sounds like one of my guys who has
figured things out in his own way.
Due to various job/life situations, I haven't ridden near as much as I
would have liked in the past year. If it weren't for the Just Ride
philosophy GP established starting in the latter days of Bridgestone, I
probably woudn't have ridden at all. I would have believed that if I didn't
have time
Is this part of the whole "paleo" thing?

I definitely agree with the message Grant is promoting, which
basically challenges/discards the turn-offs of cycling that prevent
more people from getting out there and riding.
Don't "not-ride" because you think you have to wear special clothes to ride.
Don't "not-ride" because you think you need

I tried to stay away from this thread, but this post makes me speak.
I haven't read the book, but I've read most of what Grant has written
since 1994, and my take on his opinions and style is that, if anyone
is offended by what GP says, he or she deserves to be offended.
There's not an offensive w
I have read a lot in my life and never has someone who made stuff I wanted
"offended" me so much as to make me stop buying it outside of racism, hate
speak and that kind of thing. I think the issue a lot of people have with
Grant is they imagine their is some equivalency in the strength and power
