Very accommodating staff. Took the time to answer my questions and explain the differences between the various products I was interested in. I left feeling like I got a fair deal and that I was important to them as a customer. Can't ask for much more than this out of a retail operation.

Sidi Diablo GTX - Making My Feet Happy All Winter Long

Roses are red,
violets are blue.
Sidi Diablo GTX,
I love you!

If you have yet to get yourself a pair of dedicated cold weather shoes, get yourself some Sidi Diablo GTX. Up until last year I was using my Dragons with Gore Tex socks, and City Overshoes for slushy days. But then I was lucky enough to get my feet into a set of Sidi's Diablo GTX and since then, my feet have never been happier. I use them for my daily commute, cross racing in a foot of snow, or mountain biking at Palos once everything is frozen over. Usually a pair of thin socks is all I need, but occasionally, on the uber cold days, I need some thick socks. Which Sidi was kind enough to think about by adding some extra room so my tootsies still get blood flow.

After a pedaling through a full Chicago winter last year, 2 races, and couple trips to Palos, mine are still holding strong and ready for another year.

Sidi Diablo GTX

Your feet are vulnerable on cold, wet off- and on-road rides. Keep them toasty and dry with Sidi’s Diablo GTX shoes. They sport waterproof and thermal Gore-Tex uppers along with neoprene cuffs and billow tongues so winter seems a world away. Plus, you'll benefit from supreme pedaling dynamics with Sidi’s Competition soles and Velcro closures for fine-tuning the fit. And, you'll appreciate the aggressive tread on the soles for all-conditions traction.

Trek Ticket Stub and Trek Ticket Exchange

You may have seen these trick bikes underneath Cam McCaul and Brandon Semenuk as they busted out 360 tail whips, supermans and backflips. Trek's Ticket Stub and Ticket Exchange are ready, willing and able with a tight, maneuverable, super-tough frame. They are versatile too. Both come with horizontal drops that can be converted so you can roll gears if you want. And, up front, you've got a stout 100mm-travel fork for smooth re-entry, while the burly Alex wheels handle landing after landing, just like the BMX-style 3-piece chromo cranks and Black Label Pivotal seat. Plus, to scrub off some speed before the lip, you're equipped with Hayes discs. Slopestyle, jumping, parks, you name it; this is one Ticket that gets you into all the events.
