Cycling Clips With Straps

[Arch]

I've got those but prefer the ones with straps.

Tried cleats once and hated them even though I went a bit faster. Like your description - it did feel as if my feet had been welded to the pedals.

I used to have the strap ones, but find that these toecap ones are ideal for me - I don't need a lot of power, I just like to be able to keep my foot in the optimum place, and to be able to pull the pedal up to a good pushing off point when I stop and start - but be utterly secure about getting my foot out in a hurry, and be able to wiggle it about a bit.

I do have SPDs - on my recumbent trike. Doesn't matter on that whether I get my foot off the pedal when I stop, and it stops the risk of a foot slipping off and being sucked under the trike at speed.

I would'nt want to use my bike in traffic untill I've got the tecnique right

Simple solution is to learn to track stand and never take your feet out....


okay, maybe that's not simple, or a solution

Maybe I can just add stablizers then know fear of toppling over
