BUT, THEY WERE ON SALE
THE LONGER WE'RE INTO THIS SPORT, the more we are able to assess value. Sure, we still drink the kool-aid our favorite brand is pouring...
... and that's cool.
What's not cool is how much this ability to assess value costs us, but I really don't have a good answer...
... I mean I do, but it might hurt.
Take this convo with my newest padawan.
How's your bike fit?
Oh, it's great!
Then, why did you get that rando cramp last night?
Uhhhh
Who did your bike fit?
Steve.
Oh, he's awesome.
How long ago?
3 years.
And there it was.
3 years.
3 years?
3 years!
No wonder he was miserable first night out with us. Poor little feller didn't have a clue...
... I set him off to a pro.
Fastforward to today.
How was the fit sesh?
Oh, man amazing.
Really?
Yeah, he changed everything.
Everything?
Well not my shoes, but I have new ones ordered.
What's wrong with your shoes?
Too tight.
You didn't know they were too tight?
No, I got 'em on sale. 40% off of $400 shoes.
We've got a ways to go, as you can see.
Want to save some money?
- Hire a coach.
- Take the veterans to lunch.
You could do some research on your own...
... just be careful with the koolaid.
