Platform Pedal Spike Delete
Spike on platform bad for skidz. Mashing slowed down by feet correction, also destroying the soles of my shoes. 
Shaved.

you realize fleece will do nothing to protect you and would probably have melted onto/into your wound had you slipped.

the point of the spike is so you can get yourself into your toe clips, assuming you use them.

I enjoy that the fixed gear craze is bringing new people to cycling but i think there should be a required history course and a predetermined number of mile one has to ride on a bike with friction down tubes with toe clips and another bike with brifters and clippless before your allowed to own/ride fixed gear...
