Sneakers on a road bike.
Yes, on purpose, and they clip in. The pedals are dual-sided, flat on one face and clip on the other, so the sneakers lock in for the hard laps and any shoe still works for a coffee run. It is the thing people ask about first in the park, and it is not a recommendation: ride what lets you ride more.
