Slightly off topic, but Eric: what did you do to get retention with on your
Brompton? I switched to MKS folding pedals, which are a bit grippier but
they're still pretty lousy and I'm sick of having my foot slip off and
bashing myself in the heel (which happens way too frequently and definitely
I put a pair of standard clipless pedals (Crank Bros) on my Brompton. For
day-to-day folding this doesn’t cause a problem. If I need to put it in a case,
I just have to remove the non-drive pedal, which of course no longer folds.
Takes a few seconds.

I went to flat/platform while riding the Siuthern Tier in 2011. I got sick and
tired of "hotfoot" and have never considered going back. I have since switched
from Grip Kings to Thin Gripsters. I love them and can get off the bike and
walk normally and never have the foot pain I had with SPD and
I pedal like a purring cat kneading in bliss

Dear Eric,
Cool! Pluck the spokes of your very evenly tensioned wheel on Earth, with
the tires deflated, the wheels supporting the bike on the ground

"When you last rode your bike with flat shoes, or your pub cruiser / fixie,
did your foot keep lifting off the pedal through the back of the stroke? Do
your cleats actually allow you to add more power through the back of the

No glad you did. Interesting to see different individuals perspective. Like
you Chad I have bounced back and forth over the years. Today I have a go-fast
road bike with and the rest of my bikes without. Both feel right to me.
Whatever gets someone out riding with happy feet and mind is right
I had been using clipless from the early days of The Look/Mavic pedals,
switched to SPD. While on a tour in 2014 I started using the unclipped side
of the Shimano 530 pedals When I got home I switched to pinned platform
pedals and haven't missed clipless at all. Still wearing Shimano sandals

I gave riding without retention a fair chance (over a year). It took more
time to unlearn clipless than it did to learn. My two cents. If clipless
pedals were banished from the face of the earth I'd adapt. Given the choice
I'll take clipless anyday.

Relevant Yes! Productive? Pedal/crank theory probably follows only helmet use,
gun advocacy/control, abortion/pro-life, and coffee production techniques. Let
the games begin. Personally I enjoy the opinionated banter.

I gave flat pedals the old college try recently when I bought a Brompton. It
didn't take long to discover that I like the feeling of clipless pedals better.
I'm familiar with the arguments in favor of flat pedals, but I just find
clipped-in riding to be more comfortable. (That's an opinion, by
Sorry, maybe I should not have posted that article here. I guess it just
reiterates what Grant has advocating for years. For the record, I alternate
back and forth between flats and clip less and like them both depending on my
riding style.
