...... Really? Who? Gossip! .... Hi Canuck , Please forgive me if my memory is a little vague and/or inaccurate on this - I was never personally involved, nor was I one of the ones who were banned.

Another "Sad but true" case.

Errr; Sorry, I got confused. I meant the Shimano SPD pedals.

I've been looking online for cycling shoes and pedals to match, but I can't find any.. I'm also really confused about the sizing for the cycling shoes. If someone could find me some that'd be great.
