REAL cyclists use quills and toe clips.

Ove thinking. Remove shoes. Are your cycling shoes incredibly hard to remove? Do they have laces? Are you terribly attached to your shoes or just lazy?

I wonder if you didn't mean Shoe Goo. The only Goop I know of is a nasty smelling, waterless hand cleaner.

Shoe Goo would work as well. That, Goop, E6000 are all basically the same product, just aimed at different markets.
