Let’s be honest, clipless shoes are a total downer off your bike, metal cages will destroy your nice shoes and going without some sort of pedal strap is not an option for most of us. I’ve been riding with wide nylon pedal straps for a couple of years, in an effort to protect my more precious heals and leather kicks. They are not branded very well and while the Velcro makes it nice for adjusting to different shoes, the whole strap has looked pretty rough since the beginning.

That’s why Pedalbelt had me at hello. Handmade leather pedal straps with brass details, these babies will only add to your bike style. Pedalbelts are durable, easy to install and come in various colors (I love the honey brown). I can’t believe I missed their Kickstarter campaign, but have an email in to get my hands on a set asap!
