Theres a thread called “Pedal Suggestions” where someone gave me various options.
Full disclosure, I was not even close in height--I was just excited to take her for a spin. The fine-tuning started when I got home with tools and will continue for a little while.

I also like cycling specific flat bottom MTB shoes, but not using the cleat feature
I'm thinking about the Shimano Deore XT PD-T8000 SPD Trekking MTB Bike Bicycle Track Pedals and a pair of Shimano Sh-ME3 Mountain Bike Shoe. My choices in shoes are limited as I believe I need size EU 49. Ordered an Ortleib Ultimate 6S Classic Handlebar Bag today. Need to suck it up and order an ABUS 540 U-Lock.
Or just ride it for a little while...
