Yes, they are cheap, basic pedals that work great. I have never been a gearhead, so maybe I'm missing some perfectly rational explanation as to why I should be using pedals that cost ten times more and are made by some company with a French or Italian name. But I defy anyone to show me a pedal that will add a single ounce more enjoyment to my rides.
