<p>Here&#8217;s the situation, You have a road bike and a mountain bike and you want to use one of them for your commute to work, daily coffee shop run or to do a drunken pub ride.</p>
<p>Problem is, those bikes have fancy clipless pedals that make it tricky and dangerous to ride with sneakers (which are great for strolling), and your clipless shoes are hard and tight and uncomfortable and crappy for walking. So what do you do? Take a pair of shoes? Deal with the clips? ride carefully with your sneakers on those tine little pedals?</p>
<p>What if there was a sturdy, safe, and robust product that could convert any clipless pedal to platform and solve this problem for less cost than a new set of pedals that won&#8217;t send you running for a pedal wrench and trying to remember which one is back threaded&#8230;</p>
<p>We may soon find out. My sister is designing just such a pedal for an engineering class @ UNR. Please help her out by taking this survey she and her team needs to gauge the marketability of the product. With our help she&#8217;ll be the first bike product development engineer on the team!!</p>
