    Hey Phil,

    Are these permanent on the bike? I assume this makes your clip-less pedals useless though?

      Hi Greg,
      Nope, they click on and off just like cleated shoes. The cleat on the bottom is the magic part. I made my first pair when I got a second set of Eggbeaters, and moved the old cleats to the decks, and put the new cleats on my shoes.

    This is an awesome solution to the problem I had with my Shimano pedals. Thanks for sharing.

      Thanks for the comment. I have a few pairs to list on Etsy, and then I probably won’t make any more.
