Do people remove the pedals to prevent damage to other bicycles in their collection when storing a bunch of bicycles together?
Why no pedals in so many pix?
Bike weights are usually taken without pedals. Pedals are also a "personal item" re bikes, so, leaving them off before sale is perfectly acceptable, or should be. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a bike without pedals, as I usually despise the pedals on the bike as sold. I'll just take them off anyway. my $.02...
