What kind of pedals are these?
Can anyone tell what kind of pedals are in the bike below? This used to be my bike but it was stolen 10+ years ago. I took a break from cycling but am now getting back into it. I bought a new folding bike and want to swap out the pedals with what I had. I remember they were a noticeable improvement over the stock folding pedal in terms of stiffness.

Looks like some cage pedals.
MKS makes great pedals of many different types. Check out their BM-7 model.

I can't say if that pedal is worth $33, especially now with busted supply chains.
But I can say that pedals that I paid more than $30 for were ones that I expected to last.
And pedals that I paid less than $30 for are on my errand bike that is stored out in the rain, I consider pedals like that to be expendable like tires and tubes.

The BM-7 pedals arrived but they seem a little "fatter" and longer than the ones in my picture above. Do these cage pedals come in any kind of "slim" design? Or is my memory just playing tricks on me?
For the most compact fold, I would prefer slim pedals.
