Yeah, that's what I mean - platform pedals all seem to cost either $10-$30, or $70 to $110.
It seems like there was a fad for a while to make platform pedals for some sort of heavy duty riding...bmx? Mountain bike? I dunno. Seems like it hit a year or two ago, because that's when all these pedals showed up - and then the fad burned out within the last year and half the pedals are being discontinued.
Here's the Drilliums, for example:

They call it "The ultimate racing flat". On Amazon it says "Speedplay's Drillium pedals are the ultimate platform pedals for downhill, slalom and BMX". Dunno.
I just want something decent - as I mentioned, I think the peddles currently on the bike are pretty terrible.
