Clothing
Cycling trousers
(e)
are essential if you want to sit com-
fortably. These close-fitting trousers have special pad-
ding in the seat. They have no seams that can press
into you and they do not form folds. Cycling trousers are
therefore designed to be worn next to the skin.
Since sporty cycling will soon bring you out in a sweat,
a jersey made of synthetic materials is ideal
(f)
. The fi-
bers themselves do not take up any moisture but instead
wick the sweat away from the skin up to the surface of
the materials and thus prevent you getting cold from
the cool wind produced by your speed. On longer tours
you should in addition have suitable protection against
the rain. Your MERIDA dealer would be glad to help you
choose the right equipment.
G Never ride with wide-cut trousers or skirts
that might get caught in the spokes, chain or
chainwheels. To avoid any such mishap, use
suitable clips or straps, if necessary.
G For increased visibility to other road users
be sure to wear striking and bright-colored
clothing!
The pedals and the shoes
Cycling shoes
(g)
should be made of solid material
to provide firm support for your feet. In addition, they
should have a stiff sole so that the pedal cannot press
through. The sole should not be too wide in the area of
the heels, as the rear stays or the crank will otherwise
get in the way of your pedaling. This will prevent your
feet from assuming a natural position when pedaling
and may cause knee pain in the long run.
Special cycling shoes are obligatory if your MERIDA
bike is equipped with clipless pedals. With these shoes
cleats are fixed to the sole. They give you a firm connec-
tion between shoe and pedal and allow depending on
the model an acceptable walking position.
The main advantage is that these step-in pedals
(h)
pre-
vent your feet from slipping off when pedaling fast. They
enable you not only to push but also to pull the pedals.
This makes it easier to pedal fluidly and considerably
improves the transmission of the force as opposed to
pedals with an open pedal cage.
The usual way to engage with the pedal is to turn it from
the lowest position of the crank to the horizontal using
the tip of the cleat and push down on the back of it.
Normally, the shoe engages with the pedal with a click
which you will hear and feel clearly.
