Comments are working again
I was wondering why there have been so few comments. Well, I recently upgraded my site software, and it turns out a crazy plugin got turned on by accident. All better.
Plastic vs. metal pedals
Lee,
I have recently given up clipless after realizing that I can manage the same speed while having more fun on flats. So, I was looking for some new flats at my local bike shop when I noticed that specialized is now selling p.bikes with plastic pedals. Supposedly they are popular with bmxers because they do not leave nasty shin scars. I just find it hard to believe they grip very well. Any thoughts?
