Bikes: Giant Excursion, Raleigh Sports, Raleigh R.S.W. Compact, Motobecane? and about 20 more! OMG

The bikes I have the most miles on typically have toe clips and straps on them. The bikes for slow city riding, running to the corner coffee shop, are almost all platform pedals. I do have one with half clips. Touring bikes currently all have toe clips and straps, but I may go to SPD pedals on one of them. Might give the Power Grips a try on my newest bike...if it will ever get here. Vintage Raleighs came with platform pedals, get ridden with platform pedals. I am not in a big hurry to get much of anywhere these days
