I'm heading out on a ride in an hour. Perhaps I'll change the
pedals...

For my recent tour I ended up using the Shimano touring pedals which
meant I used my cycling shoes. My intention prior to the tour had been
to use Grip Kings but I succumbed to peer pressure and used the
Shimano pedals and my Sidi shoes. I really think I would have been
fine with the Grip Kings. B
The sneaker pedals are closely related to BMX pedals - they are wider
than Grip Kings. I have GKs, but don't use them because my feet tend
to "roll" off the sides; the GKs are not wide enough for my
preference. I use pedals similar to the sneaker pedals on all my
bikes.

The protruding "teeth" on the Sneaker Pedals do wear out over time. They
get rounded down and then the pedal is kind of slippery. Mine are in this
condition, and a foot has slipped a couple times. Wearing ether Vans or
Tevas, not sure which. Still great pedals though!

I have the touring pedals and like them fine with my Tevas but not for
my skater shoes. I currently use Crank Brothers 50/50 pedals on one
bike and inexpensive "bear trap" style cage pedals on my single speed.
Actually the cheapies are the most grippy in wet weather but I have a

We used the Adventure Cycling map and stuck with their suggested route
for about 80% of it. It was self-supported (3 of us, 2 with panniers,
1 trailer). We went over Middlebury Gap, Rochester Gap, and Jay Peak.
While not too long, the grade on some of the sections is impressive.

The touring pedals are fine for free pedaling too. I have Sneaker,
Touring, and Grip Kings. I like them all, and in that order. The width
and grip of the Sneakers make them number one. If the GKs were
grippier I would put them number two, but they can be slippery
depending on the shoe.

Sneaker pedals are great with my Keen H2 (smooth bottom boat shoe sole). Could
not ask for a better interface. Jim D. Massachusetts

I have the sneaker pedals on a single speed for around town (not a Q'Beam

not had the inclination to try them on a tour or longer ride. Perhaps I should

Nice. there certainly is some amazing riding here in Vermont. Hit
any of the gaps? Hope you discovered some of our fine dirt roads!

I'm with you. I just finished doing 2400 miles SF to OK City via the Western
Express route. I rode the whole route on GripKings with uncleated mountain bike
shoes. Very comfy, and much safer in my opinion. I climbed thousands of feet
and never felt disadvantaged due to lack ofcleats or clips.
Did you do the Adventure Cyclist VT. ride, or self-supported?
