Hey, something\’s missing here!

To me, a bicycle\’s pedals look bare without clip-ins. Using clipless pedals, and cycling shoes with cleats, makes a big difference. Getting adjusted to clipless pedals can seem like a hopeless venture at first; but the effort is well worth it.

 The idea of being attached to your pedals is scary at first; so if you don\’t want clip-ins, toe clips are a big help.

When I was still riding the tricycle, the toe harnesses I got had straps; and I never could get the strap for the left-foot pedal fastened properly. That used to drive me crazy. After I started on two wheels, those toe harnesses didn\’t seem like such a good idea. I didn\’t like the thought of trying to reach down to tighten them while rolling; especially not as a newbie. That\’s when I got strapless toe clips.

Later I went clipless and, after I got the road bike, I had the clipless pedals transferred to the road bike. I had kept the pedals with the toe clips; and had them put back on the hybrid. Now, trying to ride on platform pedals feels very awkward; and I think, hey, something\’s missing!

Love to ride? Want to pedal more efficiently? Go clipless!
