Very nice.

Wouldn't fancy those pedals though, I wouldn't feel safe not being clipped in.

Cheers.

I thought the same but despite trying three different sets of shoes and clips and still not being comfortable, its nice to just jump on and go!

Toe clips and straps?

Toe clips and straps?

It's more your heels slipping and hitting the ground.

And redesigning your ankle and knee joints!

With mucho pain, anguish and gnashing of teeth.

Blimey Gents - Ive never done ANY of those things!

However, First MTB ride on SPD's, came to a stop and panicked at not being able to unclip - nearly dislocated a shoulder.

Needs must so Ricky is now up for sale - full advert soon :-(

See what you mean about the toe clips.
Participated in the Sheffield City ride yesterday. First time I've taken my KMX for a run. Yes my feet slipped on the pedals so I'll be investing in some toe clips before I have a nasty accident..

These took some finding but I used to use these straps YEARS ago and found them quite good: PowerGrips...

Ricky is now for sale in the "For Sale" section BUT...

I REALLY fancy a low-racer to try and satisfy my need-for-speed

 

[Falco Frank]

Ho Hum, Ricky is now sold and is apparently getting an electric conversion!

AN eBay seller from Durham came and collected the Trike this morning and seemed happy with his purchase...
