Are You Crazy/Bold Enough to Wear Two Different Shoes?

So I was at the gym, and saw one of the staff members, Michael wearing two different florescent shoes on each foot. I assumed  maybe, it was a new trend by Nike.

A Summer Fling: My best ride yet

Each summer I choose a new activity or perhaps not new but something I haven’t done in a long time. One summer it was golf, the next it was rollerblading (I suck) and this year it is cycling. It isn’t that I’m cheating on my golf clubs (my game also sucks) or my rollerblades.
