anyone done this before?

How useful or fun can Zwift be balancing on a little clip-less pedal with a flat shoe? Even the cheapest clip-less shoe would provide a miles better experience.

Edit: Using a flat shoe would likely scuff up the electronics pod (or worse, cause a malfunction) on the Assiomas. I think any evidence of abuse to the pod would void the warranty. Spring for the clip-less shoes...

^Spot the guy with no kids.

Don't see why it wouldn't work. But I'd put some clipless to flat pedal adaptors in there, if you can find them with appropriate cleat shape for the Assiomas.

Here's the potential issue. If it were me, I just put the cost of the adapter towards a new pair of clipless shoes.

Agreed, hence my "if". But $10 on a plastic platform is a lot cheaper than a new pair of shoes every year for a growing kid...

Eh, get the kid his own smart trainer. Problem solved. : 0 How about hand-me-down clipless shoes?

Why not just use virtual power for the kid?
