Clipless question...

This was very helpful! Here is what I just purchased for my LHT a couple of days ago:

All of the different pedal critters are interesting, the one with magnets look like fun - it will be interesting to see if they catch on.

Ah, yes, that I'd call a variation on a BMX pedal. I have those on one of my bikes. The pins aren't adjustable, but I like them just fine. Over all I much prefer the grip of pins to the not-so-good-in-the-rain teeth of bear traps. (I'm a bit sloppy in the rain, and pins really help keep my feet where they belong!) I also like the huge surface of BMX pedals like the Crank Bro 50/50, because I don't wear proper cycling shoes. I like to walk in flexible soles, so that's what I ride in, too.

Cool, that is what I thought they were. I strongly disliked the pedals that cam with my Trek - one would think that a bike that far up their line would have had slightly better platform. Hey, if you get a chance to look in on my post in the Health Issues thread, I would appreciate your thoughts.
