I have clip-in pedals on every bike I own. I will often ride in regular street shoes, when I don't want to wear cleats. I'm so used to doing that, that I don't even think about it anymore.

It's all on what you get used to.

Question for the Power Grip owners/users:
When you take your foot out of the pedal, it flips over and the strap is hanging down, right? Just like old fashioned toe clips & straps, right?
So, how do you flip it back upright, if there's no tap on the pedal to facilitate that?
The old "quill" pedals (and the modern ones too) have that little triangular tab and you just flip it with your foot and slide in, then cinch down the strap. Super easy to do, and with little practice, you do it without even thinking.
How is this system better (if "better" is the right word)?
Please explain.


Muchos gracias!
