Today I proved to myself that MKS EZ pedals are unsafe without those plastic clips.
Two weeks ago I started to experiment using the EZ pedals without the plastic clips (and making positively sure before each ride that the pedals are properly locked). Well, today after 2 miles of so, the right pedal came loose.

I am using MKS EZ Promenade with Power Grips but apparently the shoe has enough lateral play to push in the metal locking ring.

BTW, I heard that MKS came with a new model of EZ pedals that do not use the plastic clips. Any info on the new model?
