My pedals (on the push bike). They have survived 18 years of use but the oe pedals have seen better days. One was getting pretty loose on its spindle and the other makes scrunching noises at random suggesting a bearing or two are unhappy.

Explained my meagre riding habits and simple Raleigh hybrid commuter steed to the chap in the only remaining independant cycle shop in town as well as my (possibly mad) thoughts about trying toe cages and he suggested some simple looking Oxford jobbies that came all bolted together. It only took a bit of swearing and a hammer to get the old ones off and the new ones were on in time for a trial run to the pub. The straps will take a bit of getting used to but so far so good.
