Well, we like those.

Clipless are comfortable and positive, excellent for racing,
century or just meandering up to Lodi for breakfast on a Sunday morning (one of
our favorite rides).

For short errands, like riding to the grocery, for commuting to work or school, do you
really want to stop to change your shoes? I sure don't.

If your only bike is clipless, you're probably missing some nice short trips.!

If you've adopted neither clipless nor toeclips, you should reconsider. Although Grant
Peterson has given us his nice essay on the virtues of simple plain flat pedals ( and he
has a point), for most riders on most rides, some better connection between bike and feet
is just a good idea. For starts, I think I can ride farther more comfortably when
my feet don't slide around. I admit I hardly notice this going couple of blocks, but on anything
beyond that I feel tension in my calf and foot. I have the feeling I'm restraining my efforts, just
to keep from slipping off. And anything out of the saddle is just plain safer with clips. I'm intimidated
by even moderately high rpms on a fixed without the security of those nice straps.

You're probably inclined to toeclips already or you wouldn't be reading this, right?

Let's digress for just a moment to look at How Things Don't Work.
Click that and then come back , OK?

We carry a large selection of classic toeclip- compatible pedals from about $14.95, including some
nice MKS products:(vintage equipment is a different discussion)

There are a lot of nice traditional format pedals here but the best overall values seem to always be
MKS products. Carefully made in Osaka, Japan, the MKS Sylvan series at just $29.95
includes a track, road and the super wide touring model. All have forged CrMo spindles, beautifully finished
forged aluminum bodies that last forever, smooth adjustable and rebuildable bearings and they accept
standard toeclips and straps easily.

Are you the curious type? Do you crave minutiae? No problem!

Mikashima's latest model, the MKS Royal Nuevo is what a Superbe pedal would look like
if there were a 2007 Superbe pedal.
