> [@jim](#): > > fuck vans dude. it’s all about parliaments and tigers (guilty). only hippies and dorks smoke rollies, and 15yo’s smoke cloves. according to this i am a goth 15 year old dork hippie and obviously fail at life. checked out those vans again though. i’d get em. they look robust. im fine in chucks and i probably wont ever buy those vans, but i would, if i had a pile of money i didnt need. don’t need another saddle bag either. the slipons were the only shoe that felt secure when i was riding platforms. ---

Am I in the right forum? I thought this was a bike forum… what the fuck is with these flat-soled shit shoes? Get some SPDs and Shimano sneakers and clip in. Your strokes are better this way. Who doesn’t want a better stroke? ---

Your strokes are better this way. Who doesn’t want a better stroke? I’m pretty sure most of the people here have clipless systems, they are just looking for shoes that are a bit more versatile. Clipless is also not a good idea for those of us riding brakeless. ---

Clipless and brakeless is perfectly fine. I mean, as fine as brakeless can be, which is not-fine-at-all. ---

It seems like some of you guys are becoming the very thing you jest about. Those of you riding brakeless on anything but a velodrome or salt flats are retarded. Also, flat-footed shoes promote a terrible pedaling geometry and will strain many of the tendons on the underside of your foot. In bicycling, function trumps fashion and form always. All the rest is tarck. ---
