Agreed. Your options to reduce it are to go with shorter cranks, smaller toe clips, and smaller tires. you can buy a few mm here and there, might get rid of it. You'll get used to pointing your toes up or down(depending on where you are in your pedal stroke) at slow speeds.I really only notice when I'm riding in circles or trackstanding). Normal cornering is no problem
