I've joined the ranks of bike commuters (kinda)

I've never heard of a pedal converter. What is it? Do you have a link?
congrats on commuting!

Hi Mimitabby!

Ah, I looked it up on Bike Nashbar, and it's really called a tennis shoe adapter. Here's a link:

And here's a pic of it installed on a pedal:

Oh now that's nifty !! (well, if it didn't fall off all the time, that is ...)

I wish they made them for Eggbeaters, there are occasions I wish I had plain platform pedals on Pokey but it's not worth the effort to switch them.

(I know Crank Bros. makes platform style pedals compatible w eggbeater cleats, but it's not quite the same, they're not comfy with sneakers)

Hey there, Jobob!

Is this what you tried with your Eggbeaters?



I know, it shows a Shimano pedal, but it says that it will work with Eggbeaters (or any two-bolt cleat except Speedplay Frogs.

Good gravy, I'm starting to feel like an advertisement for Bike Nashbar. Just in case anyone's wondering, I do NOT have any affiliation with Bike Nashbar except for placing an order with them.

No, actually I was referring to the pedals made by Crank Bros which already have small platforms - I was thinking specifically of the Candy pedals since that's what Lee uses.

Whoa, way cool !! Must investigate further.

Thanks Melissa!
