What if we had Pins on our Shoes instead of the Pedals? || Bike Hack Experiment

  • Don't you hate shinners, too?
    If you want any decent grip on flat pedals, you'll need nice metal pins on them. But while riding, you always know that the pedals are lurking to get your shins at any moment.
    So, the only solution is to armor yourself with shin and knee pads, right?
    ...Maybe there's another one.

    This video shows me experimenting with pins on my riding shoes and rubber on my pedals. testing the system with trials riding, tricks and some mountainbiking.

    Street Trial is a mixture of two sports - Bike Trials and Street BMX. It gained popularity on RUclips in recent years through riders like Martyn Ashton, Danny MacAskill, Ali Clarkson, Duncan Shaw, Sean Watson, Fabio Wibmer and John Langlois.
    Trials riding is all about riding/hopping over and balancing on obstacles. BMX Street is all about tricks and style. Street Trials combines the two and does tricks over, off and onto obstacles.
    Videos like Danny MacAskill's Way Back Home, Imaginate, Inspired Bicycles 2009 or Fabio Wibmer's Fabiolous Escape showcase lots of what Street Trials is about.

    The original pedals on bicycles for decades were rubber blocks. They were ultra durable, even when cracked and weathered but they were heavy. Most of the problem was not the rubber but instead the manufacturing process which made it economical to simply have huge rubber blocks and steel bearing cases.

    Just a quick disclaimer: This is only a fun little video about an idea I wanted to test. Not saying this is a perfect system. Not saying this would be a replacement for any current systems.
    There'd be lots of things to work out for a practical version of both, shoes and pedals, that I didn't mention to keep the video short.
    That's all. Have fun riding and stay safe, everyone. ;)

    • @kirkeverett295
      @kirkeverett295 5 лет назад

      Concept: pads that can be securely fastened to the bottom of riding shoes, and have studs on both the top and bottom of the pad, so that it will stay secure on the sole and grip the pedal. The pedal could be surfaced with an old riding shoe sole on both sides, as the soles are fairly thin to reduce bulk and allow it to be evenly weighted
      Similar to this in concept, but the full length of the shoe www.amazon.com/Stackhouse-The-J-Heel/dp/B002BI9HWQ

    Fantastic idea for being able to quickly engage and disengage with the pedals without the risk of getting some sliced up shins.
    Obvious downside is that now the shoes can't really be worn inside anywhere, but this could still be useful for people who are purely riding and not stopping at any establishments.

    As a lifetime addict of most things on two wheels I think you are onto something. I still have the flashbacks of doing this many times when I rode BMX. I think maybe the style of riding shoe would be better suited to something of a mountain bike / road shoe with stiff soles. I like the idea that the nasty part is on the bottom of the shoe and not the pedal

  • @FreeUpTheWeed
    @FreeUpTheWeed 5 лет назад

    I saw this in my suggestion feed and laughed, then looked down at my shins, torn up from where I foolishly didn’t get stitches in my younger years..
    Then clicked to see your findings.
    It makes sense though, especially as added traction on muddy trails if you need to put your foot down.
    The only downside would be that because the pedal couldn’t really have any cutouts it wouldn’t shed water/mud as easily.
    I wouldn’t care about the weight, if they were twice what my current pedals weigh it would still be worth not ever getting shinned again!

    Pretty cool idea. I could see this concept evolving into a set of pegs that fit to the pedals very tightly, or "clip" in but in a way that would still allow you to get out of very easily... perhaps by a minor turn of the ankle or something simple like that.
    Crazy thoughts, i know. Ah well, off to buy another set of power straps.

    As someone that received 12 stitches on my shin due to a 4" gash down to the Bone from a pedal strike I'd buy this setup in a heart beat!
    I'd use a spike system like track running shoes so you could swap lengths and shapes.
    The pedal is a bit trickier but maybe if you made a pedal that was single decked (instead of double decked) and you could bolt pieces of rubber on top and bottom of the deck of the pedal. That way it's generally the same width and balanced. Or somehow upgrade those old school cruiser bike pedals where the deck of the pedal is rubber and they have threaded rods through the rubber bits.
    Anything not too have to wear soon pads in the hot summer.

    Also good thing doing it with carpet for barefoot riding is that one strip of carpet wraps around the whole pedal, rather than 2 peices of rubber and doesn't have the thickness issue.
    If course rubber / carpet are for completely different riding styles though.
