Riding style is not race oriented, but easy sports, long touring, town cruising with casual cloths, shopping and also commuting for daily use. The bike with CLARIS is a partner of the rider. Having the bike make riders feel happy. It's sporty looks but it promises that the opportunity of comfortable riding.

Maclennane Apr 2019 8:37pm, 4 Apr 2019 20,777 posts	0 Maclennane Creating a real and enjoyable shopping experience is our biggest goal, we have been working hard for it! So you need to know this: It is not perfect -It can only be washed with cold water, not machine washable and dry -It is easy to clean, rinses with cold water several times, and naturally dries -It may have some flavor, but it will dissipate after cleaning -It can only accompany you to exercise but not to attend a dinner party -It is soft, comfortable and flexible, allowing you to do [more]

GregP Apr 2019 8:30pm, 5 Apr 2019 111,632 posts	0 GregP It's not clear, Swits. There might be one per shoe, possibly. There are lots of triggers. There's also a 'stability trigger in the lateral outsole' that 'avoids roll overs'. This is perfect fro 'baseline grinders', I understand. tennisnuts.com
