confidence. Once you’ve learned the basics, experience will teach you which gear is appropriate for which

condition, and practice will help you shift smoothly and at precisely the optimum moment.

E. Toeclips & Straps

Toeclips and straps are the traditional means which experienced cyclists use to keep their 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.

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 the rider’s attention, causing 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.

F. 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 pedaling 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 dis-engage the foot.

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. 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; and be sure that you follow the setup and service instructions and warnings which came with

your pedals.
