I really, really like the Catalyst pedals from Pedaling Innovations: https://pedalinginnovations.com/
Thin, long, wide, grippy – they check all the boxes for me. I ride wearing either Vans, Chucks, or Keens, none of which offer much support (esp. the Chucks) and there’s enough real estate on the pedal to keep me comfortable all day. I’ve tried all the options that Riv sells and have replaced them with Catalysts, with the exception of my Bike Friday where I use MKS rinko pedals for ease of packing: https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop/components/pedals/mks-allways-pedals-ezy-superior-rinko-2/ These are also great, esp. for their intended application, but the Catalysts are just 👨🍳 😘👌 Jay Lonner Bellingham, WA Sent from my Atari 400 > On Mar 16, 2022, at 6:24 PM, John Bokman <jpbco...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all. > I've been riding VP Vice pedals for a few years now.
