I want to start a place for fans of the normal pedal to discuss stuff, like favourite shoes for cycing in, pedals that work well even in wet conditions, big platform pedals and shoes/soles that work well for pedals without (or with minimal) foot retention.
Naturally Fixed riding with no retention is frowned on here. I bought some uber cheap plastic MKS that have little patches of grip tape on them, realised on my way to scotland I'd forgotten my pedals after removing them to mount fixed bike on the car. Rode in Scotland but not vary far or fast so it was fine, I actually thought these cheeps were great.
I just ordered some MKS Lambda to put on my touring/commuter bash bike, looking forward to trying them. Anyone used these? I've been using MKS Stream and as soon as there's water I suddenly feel very unsafe on almost all my shoes, with the exception of Monkee boots - similar to commando sole.
