There are so many boulders to choose from in Rock Creek Park, but the Boulder Bridge is the obvious choice

1/12/2022 Cicada Husk

By the time I got out for my ride, it was too dark to find any husks. So I’ll look forward to 2038, the year of their next emergence

These dead leaves are lit by the dying light of the setting sun along Ohio Drive

I am neither Rod nor Sunyata, but I will say they definitely work, work fast, and work well.

The downsides (after a week of use – there might be more) are:

– The heels are TALL. You need at least 16mm (more than 5/8″) vertical room available in your heel cup. This might be a problem for really low cut shoes or for ones with very defined Achilles tendon slots.
– The forefeet are thick (8mm+) and you cannot thin them
– There is no defined heel cup and no arch support – don’t expect to be able to use them in alpine ski boots. Don’t expect to be able to use them in really loose footwear unless there is a really good way to tension the instep.
– On really tight shoes and really vented shoes they have trouble getting the heat all the way down to the toe. Yes, it is possible to have a hot heel and a cold-numb toe. Tight is bad. Overshoes/toe caps are good.
– DON’T lose the remote (too many pocketses? dark handlebar bag?) ‘coz manual reset means taking them out of the shoe.

Otherwise, they’re a value product. Lenz heated socks will cost you double what these go for; Hotronics socks will cost you triple (or more).

I got a pair of these and generally have the same observations. However, I don’t understand your last one. You have to take them out of the shoe to recharge them.

They’ve worked quite well on my cold weather rides and I did use them when skiing this past weekend in upstate NY. Having warm toes on an 8° morning was priceless.

1/5/2022 Pentagon

Dwight Eisenhower was one of only 10 five star generals in the US military. When those five stars are arranged in a circle, they form a pentagon in the negative space
