I have crank brother egg beaters for pedals. That's exactly what they look like too. There's no platform, just 4 pieces of metal heavy wire that look like an egg beater. I really like them. They're easy to get in and out of... But do they help me make speed????

One of my riding buddies thinks I'd do a lot better with something different...

I think he's about as knowledgable as me so I'd like some adice from those who may have more insight.

thanks
