Hi to you all.This double toe strap notion is a resurrected relic from the past.Like the FIXATION with FIXIE(Fixed Wheel),it was a Track & Time Trail notion to overcome slipping straps,often caused by the PUSH-PULL associated with the real power merchants and the use of BIG GEARS on the track.It is likely to become a serious fashion fad/money spinner.All it will take,if not already in the pipeline is for somebody with more money then me to take it to China and have a Zillion made for not a lot of Wonga.If you want to have the full outfit go for some Lyotard Platform Pedals;they have a flip lip on the back edge,for rapid engagement,Traditional Shoes(Vittoria,Vega or similar with nail/screw on aluminium plates.Oh,by the way, being strapped in with a single strap is scarey, in a panic situation double is almost certain to cause a change of underwear & a hose down at the nearest garage!!.
