Agree on pedal straps, had to find some gravel to test out locking the back up and still struggled, can’t grip both pedals enough without.
Got grips and bar ends on order.
Really want to learn to use it without brakes from day one if possible too. Do many people run these brakeless or not?
If you're getting straps, actually make sure you get some quality ones. My first pair of straps were some cheap ones branded "Kamikaze" - very apt name as the right strap, on my dominant foot, completely ripped on a sudden stop.
