This is a quote from their site.

And they are the inventor of the clipless pedal that everyone knows today. It is not a misrepresentation to say that in my mind. Still curious what pedals you were using 65 years ago?

I was using standard pedals that came with every tricycle and bicycle of the day - stamped metal frame with square rubber treads - no clips anywhere.

They looked a lot like these...

Those are pedals, then there are clip pedals like Bidet Fell off of, then clipless pedals that have bindings that release when the rider twists their leg…

Then there are the 'lollipop' pedals that Speedplay makes, which are actually a masochistic device to torture your feet, disguised as a clipless pedal

I rode those for years, loved them. Same function just reversed execution. I their case the cleat is on the pedal and the binding on the shoe. They are great for riders with bad knees…

Even with carbon fiber soles, after a long ride the balls of my feet were on fire. IMO they concentrated the pedaling force into too small of an area

Look makes cleats with increased float if you have knee issues

Look definitely has the biggest cleat and binding for sure. SPD has the smallest cleat I know of…

Whenever I hear Brandon speak, I'm mildly surprised he's not wearing one of those "arrow through the head" props, like Steve Martin used to wear.





I always imagine it's there, just the same.
