Trevz Posted July 1, 2020 Share Surely you also got the BMX steel pedal designed by satan smack your shin? Usually happened when your foot slipped off the pedal resulting in an extremely fast back pedal with the result being the pedal with its steel spikes moering in to the shin. Good memories.... I could do with a pair of these sandles for when I am riding around with my laaities.... That was also painful, as i was playing soccer as well i ended up using my soccer shin pads out of desperation....Used to ride at the local dirt jumps after school and bash my shins. Funny enough next day at school it was a bragging competition to which of us has the most visible pin imprints on our shin...Lunch break macho talk. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Just get flat pedals, then you can use any pair of sandals coppi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyronLab Posted July 1, 2020 Share I don't get it. So, you're evidently not riding anything rough or intense enough to warrant a closed shoe, but you need the added efficiency of a clipless connection with the pedals? If you're concerned about heat, just rock a normal old vissie plakkie on your SPD pedals, they grip surprisingly well. Strokes for folks I guess, but this is probably the only instance where you'd be less nerdy just wearing a plain old Rocky sandal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took an entire weekend to realise one needs a stiff section under foot otherwise it's just a k a k plan BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
