Putting blocks in the floor cut out of 2by material and cut to shape of the floor with a screw to keep it from sliding forward, and cut long enough that your heel rests on it and you can still give it full treadle will prevent you feet from getting under the treadle . It will also let your foot rest on the floor and when you push down on the treadle you are doing so with your ankle and not your leg and that makes for a more controlled acceleration. The pedals seem to be too high off of the floor for me. If you like a treadle with more resistance the bungie cords is an excelent way to add resistance, but with the blocks in mine I don't feel the need for more resistance. When I first got mine home and didn't have the blocks in it my neighbour got on it mashed down on the reverse treadle and man didn't his eyes get big. I laughed till I just about cried at him I didn't tell him that I experenced the same thing when I did the demo. When my wife discovered it I beleive that she panicked cause she chased us around in the yard with it , well maybe it wasn't panic maybe it was purpose just kidding.
