Flat Pedal Revolution

[indysteel]

Any suggestions for flat pedals if I'm not ready to buy sticky shoes as well? Or do I need to bite the bullet and buy both shoes and pedals?

I like having both. The pins of a BMX pedal aren't going to do you as much good if you don't have a sticky shoe with less, versus more, tread. Just bite the bullet!!!

If it helps, there are some decent BMX pedals on the market that won't break the bank. Irulan has talked favorably of her Wellgos, and Performance offers one that costs about $50-60 if memory serves.

I just bought new carbon-soled MTB shoes! But I'd like to try flats for practicing in more technical areas. Maybe I can find something on clearance....
