I bought the Nashbar Land Cruiser pedals about a week ago and love them so far! I went from narrow pedals with toe clips and straps to these...and much prefer the new ones. They're obviously going to weigh more than more narrow pedals...but the fact that they're made of indestructible steel that will last decades makes up for the heavier weight. I highly recommend these to anyone who is looking for a pedal with a nice flat surface...but with traction that keeps the shoe from slipping when wet.
