Gripfill some rubber mats onto the floor they're lighter than alloy chequer plate.

Just wear steel-caps.  They hold themselves down pretty well.  :grin:

Mine's just got paint on the floor and I've never had any issues with my feet on track (it's generally the head that's the problem).

Skateboard tape is another alternative.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

+1 I've ditched the rubber peddle covers and put skateboard grip tape on instead. I still have carpet mats but they'll be going once I've repainted the floor and I'll be putting more grip tape down.
