Bike is mostly set up, but, something funny[not to swear] happened to shoes, so, waiting on new pair in my size to arrive . . .

I was getting this shoe model, but, one of the soles was sort of, cracked

but, new model is "alike" but, not talking to me that much, I don't like shinny too much . . .

The main concession to safety seemed to be encouraging spectators to congregate in the crash zones, so the rider might hit something soft(er).
