Rode the Chesters in this morning and they make a noticeable difference. I had very grippy pedals before with an abrasive pattern molded into them, but they needed a grippy tread on the sole of a shoe to really hold. And I've worn the tread flat on my favorite riding shoes as they used to be my favorite walking shoes.

What a difference. Even with no tread on my shoes they stuck like glue to the Chester pins. It's a noticeable difference in the amount of effort required to keep your feet on the pedals.

Also it took just that first ride to draw blood! Not from riding, but from pulling the bike into my office before I turned the lights on. Scraped the pinned pedals right up my leg when walking the bike to it's parking spot on my wall. One of you warned me......you were right!
