I had a friend in elementary school who lost a big toe to bicycle spokes. Gruesome AF. I never wore open toe shoes on a bike again.

Good enough for going up and down the street once to test it out

Luckily I saw that video one time about what things are called in USA/UK/AUS. Until my brain recalled that, I was really confused about this comment

It would be a very different kind of video if we saw him wearing the wrong kind of thong.

Every time I see someone’s feet hanging out it’s just guaranteed someone makes this comment lmao.

Got the dogs out on the bike my dude!

I gotta do the same on my mountain bike - derailleur front and rear need adjustment, the little window to see what gear you're in is faded over, and the chain is a little rusty. My front suspension forks have a bit of rust too

Maybe I'll be making my own post in a couple weeks where I've done the same, sans the dogs ;)

I believe he's saying your bare feet (way of saying your feet hurt in the south is "my dogs are barking" or "my dogs are tired").

Since you already got positive feedback on the quality footwear, I'll just add:

Gotta roll up that right pant leg! It's an important fashion and bicycle culture statement (also getting it caught in the gear is quite uncomfortable)

Yeah.. The one thing still. Missing is the guard for the trousers.

Well, don't just leave the rest of us dull folk hanging! What all did you install? I see a Deore triple crank and Alivio (Altus? Acera?) front derailleur.

Right on. Did the same thing to my bike recently. New front chainring, new derailleur, chain, new hanger & cassette. Rides like new.
