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)

There needs to be a useful name for foot straps other than 'foot straps' or holdfasts.

The problem with this is it's not really differentiated from the straps you use with toe clips, and it's also difficult to search for with specificity, as keatonandrew found.

Searches for both BMX foot straps and platform pedal straps yield quite a few results. I think the kid just doesn't know how to use Google.
