Ex-Springbok Pro and bike shop owner Willie Engelbrecht, used to own one of these when he still had his bike shop... it was indeed an incredible POS

Doesn’t he still have it? He tried to flog it to us a few years back.

Other cyclists will judge your cycling ability on your best "Argus" time....

No wonder I’m a useless cyclist

Never did the Argus or had the urge to either

these are shimano snowboard boots.

 

they make a binding that is clip in like SPDs, called Clicker bindings, and were done with K2

Work way better than the ratchet ones in my opinion, but have never caught as the pros don't use them.

I've used them. Add the tiniest bit of ice and they're almost impossible to clip in to.

 

Burton FTW!

The corollary is of course true... if you havnt ridden the epic and the argoosh you are not a cyclist... or something along those lines :)
