clipless pedal identification?
i seem to remember a clipless pedal system where the only part that remained on the bike was a small button-like nub. the rest was bolted to the shoe, and the effective pedal axle was beside the foot, not under it.
am i imagining things? or did/does this really exist? who made it? what was it called? anyone?

it will soon be the fastest selling product in the bike world
If you look at the picture of the shoes there is actually a grey pedal in place, I don't think that 'button' is the pedal.

Steel is real, baby!
Downside is that it prevents you from jumping on your bike with a pair of sneakers for a quick ride to 7-11.
Other than that, I think it's just plain ugly.

Second problem is I don't see how that assembly could be rigid enough to prevent the outer edge of the foot from rocking vertically, pivoting on the crank "button".
