5.10 at InterBIKE 2009, Las Vegas


This was my first time at InterBIKE in Las Vegas, and it was great to experience a different industry (non-climbing). There were a lot of similarities, but the most common thread for me is 5.10. The cross over from climbing to biking makes a lot of sense, as athletes in both participants need to rely on friction footwear. I've been wearing 5.10 climbing footwear for years, but recently have been biking a lot, and appreciate the STEALTH rubber on my Freerider's (check out the new Blue Zebra colorway, sick!). There was a lot of buzz around the booth, so it looks like 5.10 is carrying some awesome momentum. The other shoe that caught my eye is the Line King in yellow... now I'll wait patiently for my pair.
