Toe straps

jv i've got powergrips at the moment they're great to get out of quickly but i have real trouble getting into them - my mate thinks it might be because my pedals are shit. anyway I am getting clips and straps and new pedals probably just sylvans. if i used spd's i'd need 3 pairs of shoes! shoes for work, trainers for pub/gym/my dignity and spd shoes - just impractical

I've got them too.

I find the best way is, when you're stationary, get your left leg into the pedal and then get the left crank pointing up towards the handlebars. Leaves your other pedal between vertical and horizontal so the powergrip tilts it forward. When you want to go, just slide your foot in as you begin to pedal forwards.

Takes a bit of wiggling to get your foot in properly, but once they're in I find them really good.

Nice cheap alternative to other pedal things, especially considering I paid £8 for 'em on eBay :)
