Labor Day is what we have in the U.S. to specifically avoid dealing with labor history in general, and May Day in particular. Its location on the calendar was chosen to sell backyard grilling supplies. =v= May Day is the true labor day, celebrated by workers and those who purport to be on the side of workers (commies included).

Re: "clipless" - Yes, Mirco, I am with you on the irony - always thought it was a silly name for them, requiring far more knowledge of arcane bike trivia than warranted. I go with flats- but then, what else would you expect of a Rivendell fan? I think Yehuda knows his calendar, and wants to buy time. . . Gotta love the name “Van Sweringan” – cracks me up every time.

Does anyone else notice the irony of CLIPPING IN to clipless pedals, when the pedals that do not have clips are flats (with a few throwback exceptions, of course) Thistle would ask for information about clipless pedals, not demand to be sold some, post haste.

The one problem with that thinking though is that bikes like van swernigans don't follow model year mentalities, while sport/recreation bikes do, so end of season closeout sales might actually factor against Yehuda on the sales of road bikes relative to city bikes Zarniwoop, I think you’re right on the money…
