I used PowerGrips on my trike for many years, and they are good, but I switched to plastic flat pedals several years ago each pedal with two adjustable old school leather cycling toe straps - threaded through the pedal gaps/openings with one strap for around the back of the heel and one laterally/diagonally over and around the shoe. The adjustability of the toe straps (each has a flatish buckle) means I can ride any shoe securely depending on the conditions as well as tighten them right up inside the straps. The heel strap comes through the pedal out either side from the rear corners of the pedal, and can be adjusted with the buckle near the heel. Very secure and easy to center any shoe over the pedal.
@sherristrikesandtractors well I didn't tell all: I have had clothes tangled in to the front cranks and chain. Hate that! I PILOT A Catrike Pocket ... after wrestling round a Catrike 700 which was a blast in straight and level conditions. But I live in a state of rolling hills... and the Pocket is a Go-Kart up- down and around! At 5'7" I actually feel a part of the trike vs sitting on top of it. I think we both ❤ our machines .... I ordered the extensions ... thanks again for the advice 🎅
That’s why I clip in. Good video.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 👍

Sound good 👍
Hi! How long are your pedal extensions? 73! Rex
1” out from crank
9/16 into crank standard size for pedals hope this makes sense
@sherristrikesandtractors It does! Thank you! I like to ride in plain cotton elastic cuffed sweat pants ... with pockets! Tired of the grease 😁🎅🎅
I understand I’ve had grease on my legs In summer when wearing shorts and you just about have to wear it off😀
