    " Therefore, I maintain the opinion that toe overlap on a bicycle is neither a design fault nor a problem."

    " Toe overlap is a result of other critical design factors and cannot always be avoided especially on smaller frames."

    "Toe overlap is not a problem because riding and cornering at normal speed the front wheel never turns far enough for the toe to hit the front wheel."

    heres the actual blog if you want to see the context and other stuff about why toe overlap doesnt mean poorly designed bike.

    The pedal overlap is only one of the design flaws on this bike. If this bikes purpose was to be a match sprint bike, then the designer really missed the mark. Match sprinters often need to turn the bars at slow speeds while jockeying for position.

    Again, the wheelbase on that bike is way too tight to be effective for any track event I am aware of....
