Pedals: Shiiiiny.

The new pedals arrived. These I ordered from Amazon.

They are a few grams lighter than the old ones shown below. That is hardly an important consideration when I intend to add about 8 kilograms of electric propulsion later.

However, they are shiiiiiny and that's what counts.

Looking at the new pedals made me realize that my cycling shoes have actually more miles than the 17,300 on this bike. They date to the bike-before-last, the Rock Lobster upright. I think I will need to get new shoes as well.
