I'm a big fan of flower petals. If you're in the market for pedals, I'm also a big fan of Time ATACs. They keep my shoes stuck to my pedals and have yet to smack up my shins. :ihih:

sry for not mentioning it, but i want petals that you dont clip into. i want to be able toput my foor on it and go. i think there called platform petals.

Rose petals would work well. The thorns provide good grip.

Ya wouldn't want to step on one with your bare foor though.

Well for grip the rose petals with thorns would really work the best, however for taste I think I prefer butter-cups.

Seriously I was going to say the guys didn't have to be this hard on you for a simple spelling error, but it seems you don't care to even try to correct them and with a check seems you're from the US, so english should be your 1st language. Also have some respect for yourself when you use "I" use the capital form.

Pedal wise Azonice make some really nice pedals, as does 661 and they aren't all that expensive.

im using shimano 959 petals. some said it isnt that strong enough to take the hit from hard rocks but i`ve been smashing it up and down and those petals are still intact. as long as it smells good, i dont care whether it is a pedal or petal
