Your point does not appear to counter mine.
H-Gs may have only spent 4 hours per day H-Ging, but they certainly
would not have taken weeks or even days off from H-Ging. If they did,
they would starve. There were no freezers in the Serengeti 100,000
years ago.
I am sure there is a lot
Keen sandals often work for me. Usually prefer a 4E shoe. Or Teva
sandals. Of course, I wear both with socks and really don't care
about fashion. Although am not personally able to tolerate them in
winter.
In the alternative, anything wide by New Balance also seem to work as
cycling shoes.
And here I hoped it was about primal hopscotch. (So easy, even
Rivendell can do it.)

Well, this has provoked some interesting discussion. However, there are
a few point that jump out at me.

I always thought that old juvenile bikes looked really cool for kids,

These bearings are super easy to service.
We use to use two or three old spokes and a solid axel to drive out the
bearings. You can make a press with some threaded stock and a couple of
washers, sockets and bolts.Just make sure you are pressing on the outer
race when you install them.
