last year. as usual, i was at the pub (there is a pattern emerging), and when i left, i got on my bike, and couldn't get my shoe into the darn Triomphe pedal/clip. they are pretty, but they don't have a flip tab. while focusing on that little task, i bumped into the curb and... plop. a young woman was walking up the side walk and asked the old man if he was ok. of course, he jumped up and said Yes i'm fine. now the pedal has one of those plastic zip tie thingys so i can flip the pedal.
