platform toe cages

Anyone out there know of any good BIG pedals that accept toe cages/straps... clipless is alright, but I like riding with my all-the-time shoes... it seems that all the clip/strap pedals are rather small... the MKS GR9 pedals which are advertised as platforms are still too small... I'm thinking like a good BMX platform masher pedal that will take a cage... or do I just have to frankenstein my own?

Those present a similar problem I think in that they mount to the same type of pedals that toe clips/straps do... I'm looking for a big platform pedal that'll take straps like: https://www.nashbar.com/profile_morei...ku=8042&brand=


maybe I can fix clips to it using the reflector holes...

I have Welgo (or Wellgo) platform pedals that are very similar to these, and you indeed attach the toeclips in the reflector holes. Very easy to do with basic tools (screwdriver and small wrench).

Yeah for some reason, that didn't occur to me until I started typing out loud... err thinking out loud... well, you know what I mean... sometimes I'm a bit slow- have to think about things in public...
