Cervélo Owner’s Manual
2. 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. Based on your riding style or skill level, you may
prefer a less aggressive pedal design, or chose to ride with shin
pads. Your dealer can show you a number of options and make
suitable recommendations.
3. Toeclips and straps are a means to keep feet correctly positioned
and engaged with the pedals. The toeclip positions the ball of
the foot over the pedal spindle, which gives maximum pedaling
power. 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. Shoes with deep treaded soles
or welts which might might make it more difficult for you to remove
your foot should not be used with toeclips and straps.
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 con-
centration 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.
4. 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. Use the easiest setting until
engaging and disengaging becomes a reflex action, but always
make sure that there is sufficient tension to prevent unintended
release of your foot from the pedal.
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. Using shoes which do not
engage the pedals correctly is dangerous.
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. If you do not have
the manufacturer’s instructions, see your dealer or contact the
manufacturer for advice.
