  Subject: Looking for a heel-strap for a recubent exercise bike


  Hey CP listers,

  =20

  Janet and I just got a Schwinn recumbent exercise bike, in an effort to
  get back into shape and deal with some of the effects of becoming middle
  aged.  (We're still not ready to say "aging"!)  The problem is that my
  left foot slides backward off the pedal.  The pedals have straps that
  prevent both our feet from sliding off sideways or to the front, but
  backwards is still a problem.  We tried a Bungee (shock) cord last
  night, and it kind of worked, but after awhile it moves and comes off.
  It's also impossible to put on without help from someone else, as the
  foot's got to be on the pedal, and the strap gets wrapped around it and
  hooked.  If any of you have any better ideas, we'd really appreciate it!

  The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
  persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
  progress depends on the unreasonable man.
