I had new pedals for the commute, after some reasonably priced lightweight chromoly platforms showed up unexpectedly yesterday. I'd been annoyed with my clips and straps and was what-if shopping on Amazon, had decided to wait but I left them in the cart along with some mini-clips. My wife wanted to buy something, saw them there and just left them in for the order! I may be onto something here ... not that I'd abuse this trick ...
