I also have nothing on my Koga VP-191s platform pedals, but I am just a commuter wearing street clothes and regular shoes riding a dorky Dutch bike made for that sort of rider. I'm looking for some sort of solution, but not very hard. I know I need to read up on what my options are. I want to get something, though, because my foot position is really crummy (duh, I know).

My pedals sure don't look like much -- the only printed description I have is 'industrial bearing', which could be a way of describing the way the pedals look, not just what they have inside.
