Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I disagree. I have these grip kings because they looked promising, but my feet tilt outward due to lack of side support. An excellent platform pedal that I now use on 3 bikes are Nashbar cruisers:

To be specific, for comparison purposes, the black platform area is 4" wide (the issue of interest for the OP), and 4.5" long.

Do clip in pedals work your calves more than standard pedals?
