Oh well; there's my excuse for not taking part!
Once I had the idea for the reply to winjim's post, it took quite some time to find a family friendly image with no helmets on display!

I did too for years. I was the only one in the group though... When I got a new bike, switched to Shimano Ultegra SPD and it is wider platform; yet, not a necessity.I have MTB pedals on all my bikes including the road bike

Is that not an AS/NSZ 2063:2008 approved parasol?
Worse - it could be used as a fairing, and give an unfair advantage!

Brace yourself; according to some dick called Bradley Wiggins you're not a cyclist if you don't have British Cycling membership!

Yeah, let's put sports personalities in charge of national policy!
Jason Plato should define acceptable driving behaviour, laws and transport policy! Yeah!
Duh.

I'm sorry to go off topic, but I've recently started to put ( trekking / MTB ) SPD pedals on all my bikes ( except the short stint bike ), and using multi release SPD cleats, because my ankles are suffering a bit on big rides, with SPD SL equipped bikes. The multi release cleats are brilliant. You can step out of the ( dominant ) pedal ( with a bit of practice ) with no twist, and you can get the other foot out with a ( more natural ) inside twist. Unclipping only a few times on SPD SLs, is fine. When you're having to do it 60 ( and the rest ) odd times, my ankles don't like it. It looks a bit odd, but all I care about is reducing the hammering my ankles are taking on a long ride.I have MTB pedals on all my bikes including the road bike
