    Thanks for all the suggestions!!

    I use clips on my spin bike that i have at home, they do a good job of holding my feet in place. But clips don't work for me on my regular bike because due to my disability, I can't easily get my foot into the clip and get going on the bike at the same time. Once I got going on the bike and got my feet in, I'm sure I'd be fine.

    With the pedals I use now, they work, but I do have to pay more attention to keeping my feet on the pedal. And I don't have to with the clips, so this combined with getting more power on the upstroke, made me think magnetic might work better. But with magnetic pedals, I'm sure there is a balancing act between, having the magnets strong enough to keep your feet attached and weak enough to allow easy release, which is probably why these pedals allow you to swap magnets in and out to adjust the strength.

    I've never tried pedals with pins though.
