OK. I am frustrated with the choices available for folding bike pedals.
MKS would be a good answer, but I refuse to use yet another cleat system. Plus I would want to buy two sets of pedals one of CUBE EZ and one of AR-2 EZY. Alternately I could just live with the AR-2 EZY only ride with clips and straps and miss being able to wear real bike shoes on the bike.
Another option I am considering is to use SPDs and some kind of platform adapter. This option sounds attractive to me, since I have a pair of SPD pedals laying around. They don't stick out nearly as much as many pedals and if I really was worried about it some spd models stick out even less. So this sounds like the answer for me IF I can find a platform adapter that works well.
Can any of you recommend an spd adaptor that allows the use of regular shoes on one of the narrow spd pedals. I think my preference would be one that works with clips and straps, but may consider others. I have seen several advertised, but was hoping for some feedback on how well the various models work.
FWIW: I wear size 11 (45 eur) and have a wide foot (EEE in street shoes or mega in Sidi models).
