Cool Older Look clipless pedals

I'm getting back into riding after about 15 years off the bike.

I have the older style Look clipless pedals and was wondering if anyone had come up with a way to clip regular toe clip type pedals on them for safer urban type riding?

I don't know aboout older style look pedals, I've been using the same style for over 15 years and replaced them maybe 5 times. The only way I know is to change your pedals over which is really just a small job.

Your old Look pedals have a Delta cleat, so anything that works with a Delta cleat will...er....work.
