Now is the time of year when people are possibly thinking of extensions – like tax filing extensions or even hair extensions. But now we’re seeing the Vigurvant Foldout Pedal Extension. While this could be ideal for those with really big feet or for use when riding a bike with boots, the foldout pedal is really meant for tandem use.
This could clearly be for use with a European style touring bike more than say a road bike or even a mountain bike, but the idea here is that if you have a bike rack and need to give someone a ride they might as well do their part and help with the pedaling.
Downhill riding is a very different sport than cross country mountain biking, and for those who look to post serious times need a serious pedal. Fortunately Crankbrothers has a pedal that let riders chop down while descending. The Mallet DH/Race pedals were used by the pros last year and is making its way to the general market.
When we first saw the Moto Bicycles Wooden Urban Pedal we thought it might be a paddle not a pedal. But this wooden pedal from Germany is designed for urban riders (as the name clearly implies). The large platform provides plenty of surface area while the grip tape helps keep the feet where they need to be. Stylish and functional.
