I don't really care about foot retention on my hybrid. I wear snow boots while riding this bike sometimes, along with my work dress shoes that I don't want to scuff up. So yeah, not a big deal.

What about platform pedals with long removable pins?
My feet never slip on those, not matter how fast I go and how crazy the rocks get

i personally hate cages and dont use them. makes me feel like im wearing very uncomfortable shoes.

I thought this was going to be a thread about bottle cages... and holding sandwiches in them...

i am a big fan of cages too.

After reading "cage" then "sandwich," I thought this thread was going to be about riding the sandwich home in the bottle cage. I think that would have been a much better story. (just messing with you)
