Comments about Ergon PC2 Pedals:
In addition to the usual weekend warrior stuff, I commute by bike 3 days a week. The ride to the office is a pancake flat 6 miles each way- a good little ride but not quite long enough to justify schlepping an extra pair of shoes for the sake of being able to "clip in." I've used Ergon grips on my mountain bike for years so trying the pedals was a no-brainer.
All it took was one ride to realize these are light years ahead of a traditional BMX style pedal. They're way more comfortable- the concave shape puts your feet right where they belong and the amount of support gives them an SPD-like feel. Their style is definitely unique but it's grown on me.
Worth noting is that the pedals install with an 8mm Allen wrench- not with a traditional pedal wrench. I don't think it's too big of a deal to put it down as a "con" but I did have to spend some time scouring the garage to find the right sized wrench.

Comments about Ergon PC2 Pedals:
I am 66 and got back into riding about 5 years ago. A couple of painful falls while trying the so called 'clipless' pedals (due to failure to remember to unclip) have kept me on platform pedals while wondering if I am the only road bike rider who uses platform pedals.
These Ergon pedals however cured me of any desire to ever again try 'clipless' pedals. The large pad area spreads the pedal effort over a larger area and without the grip ridges or spikes of BMX pedals. I bought a set after reading about them in a bike magazine for my commuter/errand bike. After installing them on my bike, it only took a short ride to prompt me to order another set for my road bike.
The slight concave fit makes it easy to position my feet and the non-slip surface really seems to keep them in place. If you want to reposition your foot, you have to actually take pressure off the pedal to move, sliding while pedaling just doesn't work. Definitely non-slip

Found the Ergon pedals to be a great selection for anyone that does not want go with Clipless. Exceptional when it comes to comfort and automatically placing your shoe on the pedal right where you want it to be every time .

Comments about Ergon PC2 Pedals:
I have a 2006 Raleigh Highway 66 "flat-bar" bike that came with Shimano SPD pedals. Since I do not like being clipped in (too much traffic), and wear sandals a lot due to the summer heat here in Miami, I quickly looked for something else. I tried and discarded the large aluminum platform pedals designed for mountain biking (heavy, flat, can't stand the aggressive pins) and have been reluctantly riding on WTB Momentum flat pedals. When I recently saw that Ergon was making "ergonomic contour pedals" I thought that I would give them a try. My original intention was to use the Ergon PC2 pedals on my "shopping bike" which is rigged to haul max groceries, but since I dislike the WTB pedals on my "faster" bike so much, I mounted the Ergon pedals on the flat-bar bike instead. What a difference! I could never go back. Your foot falls perfectly on the Ergon pedal every time (I bought the large PC2 for my size 11 shoe). The ergonomic position is as they say "intuitively correct". My legs are much less tired after a long ride. The pedal's shape is actually somewhat complex with an inclined surface and a "6-degree twist". End story - it really works. I couldn't be happier. Well actually, the pedal "looks" big on the bike due to it's length. Once you get over the cosmetic change, you will love the pedal. I like the pedals enough that I am ordering two more for our grocery haulers. Since the Ergon PC2 pedals install with just an 8mm Allen key, you might see my somewhat expensive Park PW-3 pedal tool on [@] soon.

Comments about Ergon PC2 Pedals:
These pedals make my daily commute SO much nicer!
I love riding my bike to work, but I don't like bicycle shoes. I had "rat-trap" pedals on my bike for the longest time and after longer rides, even in hard-soled shoes or boots, I'd develop hot-spots. No more! These pedals have eliminated that problem. I can wear any shoes I like now! I've even worn Croc thongs with no problems!
Another benefit, no more scraped legs after carrying my bike up to my second floor apartment! It would be nice if they were less expensive like other platform pedals, but these aren't like any other platform pedals! And if you compare to the price of going "clipless", they aren't so expensive after all!
