How Do You Choose The Right Pedals For Bicycle Commuting?
A foot that stays on the pedal is a great thing in cycling. There are a variety of options to consider when picking pedals that can help you stay on your bike and pedal more efficiently. Decide whether you want clipless pedals with shoes that click into them, or whether you want toe clips with straps that you can slide your shoe in and out of. Clipless pedals are efficient, but once you’re in, you have to release yourself, often by turning your cleat, to get out. Toe clips allow you to slide in and out more easily, but you also have to constantly adjust the strap. You can ride with an open pedal, but that’s less efficient. Look at all of the different options for the kind of pedal you pick. The styles and prices can vary dramatically. Many new bikes come with either toe clips and straps or no pedal at all so you can choose the option that best suits you.
