Hard Plastic Platform Bike Pedals – Safety-Focused, Durable, Wide-Platform for Commuting

These Hard Plastic Platform Bike Pedals are an excellent replacement or upgrade for any utility, commuter, or leisure bicycle. Constructed from robust, hard plastic (resin), they are lightweight yet highly resistant to impact, water, and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability in all weather conditions.

A critical safety feature is the integrated amber reflector located centrally on the pedal body, significantly increasing side visibility during night and low-light riding. The pedals feature a wide platform for comfortable foot placement and include molded traction pins/grips to ensure secure, non-slip contact even when riding in rain or mud. Using a standard threaded spindle, installation onto most crank arms is quick and easy.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: Integrated amber reflectors significantly increase side visibility for night and low-light riding.

Application Instructions

• Preparation: Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal spindle threads to prevent seizing.

• Installation: Note the threading: the left pedal (L) tightens counter-clockwise; the right pedal (R) tightens clockwise.

• Threading: Carefully thread the spindle into the crank arm by hand to avoid cross-threading.

• Tightening: Securely tighten the pedals using a pedal wrench (or adjustable wrench) on the spindle flats to the correct torque.

Pro Tips

• Always grease the spindle threads before installation to prevent pedal seizure in the crank arm.

• Periodically check the mounting nut tightness (or spindle tightness) to ensure safe riding.

• Keep the integrated reflectors clean to maintain maximum night visibility.

• When replacing, ensure your crank threads (typically 9/16″ for modern bikes) match the pedal spindle.
