Gearhead

So I've already said, once, that reading Bicycling magazine gives me gear lust, which is a real issue in a gear-intensive sport like biking. Well, I was all set to shell out $100+ for Speedplay pedals, because they're flat awesome. What did I find out yesterday but that my biking shoes are incompatible with Speedplay pedals. I'm going to have to settle for cheaper ones. Much cheaper, actually, which is probably a good thing in the long run (i.e., these could still be used with regular ol' shoes when I ride the bike up to campus). Still, they're not nearly as cool, and we all know how important the 'cool' is when it comes to gear. heh.
