Default Street/Flat Pedal Idea

What I thought about was putting a small magnet on the inside edge of
both pedals on both sides of the axel, so that when your feet left the
pedals the magnet would be attracted to the crank and the pedal would
stay flat. While you were riding you would probably have to put a tiny
bit more pressure on the pedal to move, but such a small amount that it
wouldnt really matter.
What do you think?



I like the idea because when doing rolling 180 unispins sometimes the
pedal flips and my foot gets stuck inbetween. The only problem I see
with it is when doing crankflips the will need to be perfect 360 (720,
1080) rotations or else you may not be able to get your foot to get on
the pedal.
