Clipless ("Step-In") Pedals
Clipless pedals (sometimes called "step-in pedals") are the means most racers use to keep their feet securely in the correct
position for maximum pedalling efficiency. They work like ski bindings- a plate on the sole of the shoe clicks into a
spring-loaded fixture on the pedal.
Clipless pedals require shoes specifically designed for 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.
Your dealer can 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 keep
the foot firmly engaged with the pedal.
WARNING: 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 the rider's attention,
causing the rider to lose control and fall. Practice engaging and disengaging clipless pedals in a place where there
are no obstacles, hazards or traffic.
WARNING: Once this technique is mastered, it is safe to ride your bike.
