Biking with clipless pedals increases your effective power up to 40%. No Wonder that bikers like to use this system on their daily rides. But the use of clipless shoes and pedals isn´t comfortable in everyday life. Our lifestyles changes daily we won´t be limited to one pair of shoes with a stiff sole. My Design allows to use every clipless systems with nearly all kind of shoes. The product has been awarded with the eurobike award 2010.
and we’re interested, as users of both clipless pedals and old-school PowerGrips.

Rather than take two sets of pedals with me when I travel on business with a bike, I use the Time Z Downhill because I can clip in and also wear it with regular shoes. With Breig’s design, I could take one set of ATACs and clip this into it for the regular shoes. While appreciating Christian’s design, do wonder about how quick you can get your feet out of his adaptor or clip out and step down on the street in a hurry.

I don’t really think this product will take off there are too many other options, almost every pedal has some sort of clip-on platform for riding in conventional shoes. Also there are so many disused older toe clip systems out there too.
Yawn, it’s been done before. Back in the 90s there was a nearly identical product. It was aimed at triathletes competing in short course events. The idea was that you’d save more time using the adapter and your racing flats rather than first putting on cycling shoes and then having to take them off to put on your racing flats at the next transition.
don’t skiers have these too and I wish you could attach a powergrip to ATACs—that’s the best ever system for regular shoes. Use it weekly on the Bettie.
Or just do this . . . like the [Mission Workshop Rondel](http://www.missionworkshop.com/footwear.php)
Quick bailouts would be accomplished by pulling foot, shoe and binding from the pedal. Granted, you’d look goofy, but it’s not like you’re locked in.
That said, you won’t see me wearing a pair of these.
Many have dreamed of the perfect platform/clipless hybrid pedal, but none have beheld it.
I actually think the fixie kids might be on to something with the powerstrap-like contraptions they run around here. padded, adjustable velcro and ballistic nylon. J&B Imports has a version that they’ll be marketing under their “Origin-8” housebrand that should go for a meagre $20. they should be available within a few weeks.
