I am just getting back into cycling after a gap of 30 years. Moved to clipless pedals and haven't fallen off in the three months I have been using them. Bought Shimano SPD SL - I don't walk much when I am out riding. I guess you could ride with SPD SL pedals for a short distance wearing trainers that had a good grip, but it occurs to me that it would be possible to clip a plate into the pedal that would give it a platform as secure as a conventional pedal. That plate could even have a toe clip engineered into it. Has anyone marketed such a gadget? Could be useful if you just want to go down to the shops - clip in the pedal tops and jump on the bike in your ordinary shoes and clothes.

Is that what you are looking for. If the link doesnt work then just copy it and paste it into the address bar or just go to nasshbar and look at pedal accesories.

Almost, but made to fit a road clipless pedal (SPD SL) like this

The adapter in the above post is for SPD cleats. SPD-SL are totally different. You can find lots of adapters for SPD's, I haven't seen any for SPD-SL. I've ridden around the block with mine using tennis shoes just to see if I could. It isn't very stable - I wouldn't recommend it.

Edit: Posted at the same time as OP reply. The post I was replying to is the second post.

why go for a buckminster fuller soultion to something as simple as riding with your street shoes.

i've done it plenty of times (like traveling with my bike on a train, etc).

They have look and SPD versions. I haven't been able to find a SPD-SL version.

Exact what I am looking for - in an SPD SL version. And looking on the UK market.
