[Yak] Clothing and equip for potential bike only, life?

[Tony Raven]

I'll endorse that solution as well.  I find them ideal particularly for 
touring.  Unlike many bike shoes, the sandals don't get heavy and 
saturated when wet and you can wear sandals in many more situations than 
most cycle shoes.  It means touring I just need the sandals, a pair of 
waterproof socks for wet/cold weather and a pair of black socks (which 
worn with long trousers make them  quasi  black shoes).  It means I save 
space in the panniers because I don't need a second pair of shoes to eat 
out or when the bike shoes are drying off after a wet day.
