To give you something to pedal with until you put your own favourite pedals on? You know,
clipless/platform/whatever floats your boat. if you are a die-hard Eggbeater guy, you'ld be [censored]
if it came with ATACs, so they put on cheap "nothing" pedals so you can at least ride it around the
carpark to test it.

Because they're throwaway items. Most people have their own pedals (clipless or platforms) and will
put them on as soon as possible. Very few people keep the original pedals so it makes no sense for
GF to put on anything of any value. That money is invested elsewhere in the bike. Think yourself
lucky - a lot of higher end bikes don't come with pedals at all.

Yeah, that's great, but next time could you put on some sort of warning about the content of your
page. Some of us would like to keep our jobs.

Why didn't you just ask them to swap them out for pedals you wanted? My shop did on my Giant
Rainier, no questions asked. With the economy the way it is, most shops are more then willing to do
something like that when you are buying a bike.

As for why they put the cheap pedals on in the first place, it's all to keep the bikes price as
affordable as possible.

Thanks Steve. The plastic pedals work okay. I am a bike messenger, so for downtown they are okay.

Obviously, the part of the bible where it said "and on the seventh day God kicked back with some
beer and a copy of Hustler" didn't make it out of the editor's wastebasket.

Let me get this straight. You're a messenger, and yet you are asking a clueless newbie question
about the plastic pedals on your Wahoo on alt.mountain-bike? God help your dispatcher.

Also, dude, your poetry Is really bad And you're way too old To be groping Hooters girls like that.

Have a nice day.

Ah, is that what you and the Bishop like to gab about after services are done?

Does he prefer pale girls, or pale boys? Does he fancy you because you're pale or for some
other reason?

Hypocrisy is always amusing!

Hey Chuck... you haven't been receiving a warm welcome from the people on the newsgroup, but they
really mean well. Mostly.

Plastic pedals belong on rusting "Roadmaster" bikes. A lot of middle-age CEOs and their wives buy
the bike that you have, ride them in their driveways, go for 2 or 3 rides, and then never ride them
again. They don't need the grip that metal platforms provide. And then if you go clipless...
