    I do a sort of "half cage" but it's not quite the same thing. I have one toe cage, it's on the right side. I discovered that I hate the left one because by the time my foot's in, it's time to come out again. But the right foot is always in, whether I'm moving or stopped. So I took the left one off! It looks funny but it works for me!

    Hi everyone, new forummer from the UK here!

    I have toe cages and they work great for me. Having had a bike fit very recently where my seatpost was raised , I'm currently retraining myself to start/stop from standing. Worked great in the local park but on the road, not so great if you are a cager waiting for me to move off . Ennyway......... I've been thinking of removing the left cage as it tends to catch on the ground once I've stopped.

    Now that I know I'm not the only person with this idea, I'll give it a try for the homeward journey after work later today. I should change to cleats etc, but the funds aren't there as yet. Hopefully, I'll make the change in time for my roadbike purchase at the end of summer (fingers crossed).

    Edit: I took off the left toecage and rode home. Slowly. Putting it back on later this evening. Foot slipped one time too many and I felt unsafe on the road.
