Could you imagine bringing this to the group ride? Incredible to think about.

"No big deal, this whip has been blessed by His Holiness."

(Better not get dropped if that's the case...)

His holiness is a man of the people. He would have been fine with 105.

One little Blubba also called Mike
Tried to ride to heaven on the Pope's Pina-bike,
His bid was low but that's just as well,
He'd rather ride a Giant even if it's to hell.

The Prada cycling slippers are drilled holy trinity only and not spd or speed play compatible. Not sure what pedals the pope uses. It look or spd-sl.

FYI, the current pope does not wear Prada or more than likely any other designer footwear since he rejects the opulence of some his predecessors. Plain footwear can likely be drilled to spd or look patterns.
