Am I the only one here who has ever ridden toe clips? I feel old. I am old I guess. I used to ride my toe clip pedals in soccer cleats with rubber spikes for better foot retention. Nice and tight in the chunder on my fully rigid bike but soft enough to be able to rip them out when in need.

We are old. Zefal toe clips with bear trap pedals FTW! I switched to SPD in '93 [?] but will always have the scars.

Steel Campy and WTB clip flips, with Rivat cyclocross shoes which also had soccer cleats on the heels. Are we going to need to start a separate back in the old days topic now?

I'm a millenial, but had toe clips on my first XC bike as a kid and it was probably one of the reasons I did not get bit by the mountain bike bug until my 20's...well and the bike itself was a deathtrap even with modern clip pedals.

@Spomer, can we please deviate the toe-clip topic to another thread, and make it in a slightly bigger default font?
