Bicycle foot clips

A young girl with muscular problems was recommended by her occupational therapist to cycle in order to build up her leg muscles but her legs were not strong enough to keep her feet on the pedals.

Using straps to overcome the problem was considered but dismissed as if she fell off the bicycle, they could cause further injuries. The problem was overcome by making cycle clips out of 2mm sheet aluminium, these held her feet on the pedal but she could easily slip out of them if necessary. The client can now play on her bicycle with her friends, building up her muscles in the process.
