After a reasonable fall (it was on a sweeping corner of a mossy footpath:o ) where my knees popped out of place because it just happened that quickly (and popped back in) I'm now nervous riding with the candy's on the dirt particularly loose corners and rocky steep descents.
I know all I need is a couple of falls where I find that my feet have unclipped, and that would probably solve the fear of falling.
But I've decided to get a set of platforms & see if they're better. I know I'll miss being able to pull up on the pedals and all that energy I save by using different muscles - the candy's are great for just riding. I'll probably keep them & switch pedals occasionally depending on where I'm planning to ride to.
So please submit your vote & help me choose.
