My bicycle shoes need new shoestrings. And I am slow so I need to go faster.
What should I look for? Wool, carbon fiber, cotton? Smooth surface or
textured? Round or flat? Metal or plastic little things that clamp the end of
the shoestring the name of which I have forgotten? Do I need to go custom or
ready made? Too long or way too long? What color? What weight?
