Bike Pedal Clip

This cost-effective alternative eliminates pricy clip-less pedal systems' need for specific shoe/pedal combinations on bicycles. By using any old shoe with your bike's existing pedal, modification is not necessary. However, one pair of shoes may become dedicated to biking. Employing this system has resulted in doubled power output due to force application during both downward and upward strokes; I've personally observed a significant improvement after 30 miles this season with no wear and tear detected - further updates will follow. To set up the system, print two plates, using an extra shell and 30% infill. Sand lightly for smooth connection, apply glue to the male end, and affix it to the shoe's bottom. Secure the female end to your pedal, aiming for foot alignment with the pedal's center. Snap in your foot to lock it, requiring practice for perfect positioning. To release, apply upward pressure and slide your foot away from the bike; panic-stop precautions are advised for first-time clip-less users.
