On all the sites, the tag names started appearing bold in the last 15 or so minutes. Looks rather garish. Is this some new un-announced feature release?
For example:
@Michaelcomelately I approved your edit on the pedal answer, but it's an interesting case where it's somewhat fossilized; I don't think I've seen anyone riding with new Speedplay pedals in a decade.
I don't know. I tried to leave the "It's getting so popular" stuff as-is. I know I used to see them when I rode a more popular route, but that was quite a while ago, now.
My most enthusiastic road friend called them "lollypops." He runs SPD, apparently in violation of Rule #34. I started with Crank Bros and never tried anything else.
