As you know, DZR makes SPD-compatible cycling shoes that don’t look like cycling specific shoes. In fact, they’ve got a unique flair that makes them look like ultra high-end designer kicks. And in a way, they are.
The Jetlag (women’s – $85) and Concubine (men’s – $100) are the latest additions to the DZR lineup. They’re touted as, “The first and only SPD compatible slip on. The ultimate companion for the lazy cyclist.”

In a follow-up to this story, Channel 7 News reports: A judge sentenced a hit-and-run driver who plowed into a cyclist in Vail to probation, community service and making charitable donations Thursday night.
Eagle County District Judge Frederick Gannett sentenced the driver, Martin Erzinger, to 90 days in jail, but suspended the jail time.
Instead, Erzinger, 52, will lose his driver’s license for a year and have to take a leave of absence from his Denver hedge-fund manager job and complete 45 straight days of community service. He’s also ordered to make charitable donations, instead of paying court fines.
Burro Bags recently held their third annual art show featuring bags designed by local artists (and this year, an out-of-towner, Hannah Stouffer). Nearly all of the bags are one-offs that will never be seen again, but they plan on recreating a few of the designs throughout the year. Many bags sold at the show, but the remaining bags are available at Burro’s online store.
