Pocket Pedals are a slip-on, hard composite flat pedal surface that turns any road or mountain bike with SPDs into something that’s easy to ride around town with regular shoes.

While it looks simple, there’s a lot more going on with it to be able to work with SPD-SL road and SPD MTB pedals simultaneously. And don’t even get us started on Look’s pedals, but those are coming, too.

In this episode, I interview founder Karl Bjornson about how he came up with the idea, the complexities of manufacturing something that’s both flexible yet necessarily rigid, and how their distribution is coming along. Check out our launch story for more details about Pocket Pedals, or head to Pocket Pedals’ website to order.
