Strictly speaking this should be in the equipment bit but I think it may be of wide interest. One of the German bike mags (Aktiv Radfahren Sep/Okt) has an article on a new pedal which instead of clips has a strong magnet. This is complemented by a relevant piece of metal in the shoe sole. The sole is also cut to the the shape of the whole pedal, thus enabling the alignment to be got right. Shoes and pedals are made by Mavic. The only problem as far as I can see it is that the article doesn't make mention of the possibility of any lateral adjustment of the position of the shoe in relation to the pedal. The whole thing goes by the name of EZ Ride. I wonder if it will catch on. In principal it sounds like a great idea.
Looks like there is a website www.ezridemavic.com but I can't open it from work.
