As someone who subscribes to so many of Grant Peterson's teachings, I'm surprised you still ride clipped in!<BR/><BR/>I bought a pair of clip/platform petals and shoes two years ago, but I couldn't get used to them. I just put my regular platforms back on last weekend. Then again most of my riding is through Browne's Addition and Downtown.gillsanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424073824478105648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-84143308374862613882008-11-20T16:08:00.000-08:002008-11-20T16:08:00.000-08:00LMAOLMAOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-83739427162482821732008-11-20T16:07:00.000-08:002008-11-20T16:07:00.000-08:00you're not mistaken.

I resisted at first, until my first attempt at a running re-mount, where my baggie-ass shorts caught the back of my saddle and I went ass-over-tea-kettle. From there on, I wear the tighties when I CX. <BR/>I've tried them for longer rides, but they just are not comfortable for me. And funky? Good lord there's some funk that goes on there in that hot and humid chamois. I'll stop there.John Spearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187638368645707099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-18761320083210535212008-11-20T15:46:00.000-08:002008-11-20T15:46:00.000-08:00anon=wade.

Ok, good to have a name for a racer.

So much less hassle than the previous pair of toe clips pedals I scrounged off another donor bike when my originals degraded. I think ultimately next spring I may get a couple sets of those MKS platforms that Rivendell sells since they're also toe clip compatible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
