Second the vote for speedplay pedals. They're very cool. And since they're flat you can ride them a short distance with real shoes to the parking lot in a pinch. (I'm a tri-geek so my bike is racked at the end of a race.)
Granted endurace sports are hard to film, and Americans like to watch sports rather than participate. But watching a well done long event -Le Tour, Le Mans or the Isle of Mann TT - is one of my few TV joys - even on tape delay. And the Hawaii Ironman race usually looks better than real life in 2 hour format!
Miss the old, well-done, Wide World of Sports shows. Gave us all a more well-rounded appreciation of what humans can achieve/perform. Introduced me to a number of the sports I play today, and made my failure at Little League easier to bear!
To open a local paper in Chicago is to think that there are the 3 big stick and ball sports, plus the three also rans: NASCAR, golf and hockey.
