Platform Pedals for Duathlon
Quote | Reply
I'm looking for pedals (not adapters for "clipless" pedals, such as Pyro Platforms) that I can use to ride my bike with my racing flats in formula one duathlons. I've heard about several product names, something like Power Pedals, PedalPower, etc, but I cannot find them for sale. They would be something like toe clips on steroids, but with a large stiff platform to support the bottom of the running shoe and some means of securing the shoe.

Did a formula duathlon (RunBikeRunBikeRun) this past weekend and my transitions sucked. To make matters worse it was raining most of the race. Even though I did flying mounts and dismounts on the bike, I had to put running shoes on wet feet covered with grit and sand. I lost in the bike to run transitions.

Why no love for the Pyro Platforms? You can still do flying mounts/dismounts.

+1 in regards to the Pyro Platforms. Had a friend that did Duathlons for years that swore by these and said they were the best investment he had made when doing Duathlons.

But we digress since the OP does not want to use them.

I have used the Pyro's and found I have a tough time getting them to tighten up easily.

Tried the Pyro adapters, maybe 8-10 years, ago and put them in the closet. They don't look as stiff as these other platforms look.

Thompson Platform pedals may have been a little more functional that Pyro
