Don't worry @veloham about 'Excel' the hipsters have been and gone.
A couple of pages back @clubman was talking about ensuring your pedal straps were correctly fitted and how to be effective they were tightened up by pulling on the strap and pulley and then loosened again by opening the grip.
I did try this but found it difficult, its only since I purchased the straps in the picture that I realise the problem was that the straps I had were all to short, leaving me little to grip on to while moving.
these straps (See Picture), which incidently are now finely fitted correctly, are a revelation, I love them and find it very satisfying having to strap myself in for a steep hill or fast road and then having to loosen off the straps when back in traffic again.
