1. Some bicycles come equipped with pedals that have sharp and potentially dangerous surfaces. These

surfaces are designed to add safety by increasing grip between the rider’s shoe and the pedal. If your bicycle

has this type of high- performance pedal, you must take extra care to avoid serious injury from the pedals’

sharp surfaces. Your dealer can show you a number of options and make suitable recommendations.

2. Toeclips and straps are a means to keep feet correctly positioned and engaged with the pedals. The toe strap,

when tightened, keeps the foot engaged throughout the rotation cycle of the pedal. While toeclips and straps

give some beneﬁt with any kind of shoe, they work most effectively with cycling shoes designed for use with

toeclips. Your dealer can explain how toeclips and straps work.

WARNING: Getting into and out of pedals with toeclips and straps requires skill which can only be

acquired with practice. Until it becomes a reﬂex action, the technique requires concentration which

can distract your attention and cause you to lose control and fall. Practice the use of toeclips and

straps where there are no obstacles, hazards or trafﬁc. Keep the straps loose, and don’t tighten them

until your technique and conﬁdence in getting in and out of the pedals warrants it. Never ride in trafﬁc

with your toe straps tight.

3. Clipless pedals (sometimes called “step-in pedals”) are another means to keep feet securely in the correct

position for maximum pedaling efﬁciency. They have a plate, called a “cleat,” on the sole of the shoe, which

clicks into a mating spring-loaded ﬁxture on the pedal. They only engage or disengage with a very speciﬁc

motion which must be practiced until it becomes instinctive. Clipless pedals require shoes and cleats which

are compatible with the make and model pedal being used. Many clipless pedals are designed to allow the

rider to adjust the amount of force needed to engage or disengage the foot. Follow the pedal manufacturer’s

instructions, or ask your dealer to show you how to make this adjustment.

WARNING: Clipless pedals are intended for use with shoes speciﬁcally made to ﬁt them and are

designed to ﬁrmly keep the foot engaged with the pedal. Do not use shoes which do not engage the

pedals correctly.

Practice is required to learn to engage and disengage the foot safely. Until engaging and disengaging the foot

becomes a reﬂex action, the technique requires concentration which can distract your attention and cause

you to lose control and fall. Practice engaging and disengaging clipless pedals in a place where there are no

obstacles, hazards or trafﬁc; and be sure to follow the pedal manufacturer’s setup and service instructions.

follow the suspension manufacturer’s setup and service instructions. If you do not have the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions, see your dealer or contact the manufacturer.
