I also am using the PowerGrip straps and really like them. Nice and snug when you want them, easy to slip your foot right out when you want to stop.

How do power grips work? Do they go on any regular pedals or do you need special pedals to use them?

They go on regular pedals. I installed them myself, no problem.

Here's the "how they work" pictures, and then go to the main homepage for more info:

I still have the old type toe clips on mine and like them just fine.

After reading everyone's post on going clipless, I am afraid to do it. I am very clumbsy and pretty overweight right now. If I fall, it's not going to be pretty or feel very good, with all this weight coming down.

I ordered power grips last night! Thanks!

DDH -- read all those posts, was terrified, probably not the most graceful overweight ballerina in the bunch (75-80 just gotta go) and I did it anyway!

I had the clips on my old bike, knew the added efficiency of tying myself to the pedals somehow, but didn't want to do those clips on this one -- I don't like getting into/out of the cages.

I dunno if I just think about what I'm doing on a regular basis, or what has made me successful so far, but no falls. I've decided that maybe it will still happen some day, but there's going to be less of me falling when it finally does! So far, I'm finding that I have one "clutzy" foot, and once it's in its clip, as long as I leave it there, everythign's good. Take it off the pedal, and I struggle with putting it back!
