Alternate facts: the shop owner took one look at the POS you were riding and thought 'that'll never make it through the week'. His dastardly scheme was to loss lead you to his store when the inevitable occurred and you needed to purchase a new bike. He knew he had a pair of Speedplay pedals hanging around because he'd taken them off another POS 6 months ago and no-one wanted to buy them. Ever.
You've fallen for it; hook, line & sinker. There is nothing a desperate bike shop owner won't do these days to try and get a sale; they're shameless.
Or not.
But in this day and age it's worth having alternate facts available.
