If there are two things flat pedals love destroying even more than your shins, it’s the inside of your car and the paintwork of other bikes. Clipless pedals aren’t too shabby at trashing paint or plastic trim either, and they’re an awkward shape to try to pad or cover.
These neoprene ‘Sox’ slip over your pedals and can be secured in place with poppers to keep the sharp and shitty bits from damaging delicate surroundings. Being made in Cornwall, they’re pricey, but they come in two sizes for flats or smaller clipless pedals and could stop some really expensive accidental damage.
