when tightened, keeps the foot engaged throughout the rotation cycle of the pedal. While toeclips and
straps give some ben¬eft 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 make it more diffcult for you to insert or remove your foot should not be used with
toeclips and straps.
WARNING
Getting into and out of pedals with toe¬clips and straps requires skill which can only be acquired with
practice. Until it becomes a refex action, the technique requires concentration which can dis¬tract your
attention and cause you to lose control and fall. Practice the use of toeclips and straps where there are
no obstacles, hazards or traffc. Keep the straps loose, and don’t tighten them until your technique and
confdence in getting in and out of the pedals war¬rants it. Never ride in traffc with your toe straps tight.
Clipless pedals (sometimes called “step-in pedals”) are another means to keep feet securely in the correct
position for max-imum pedaling effciency. They have a plate, called a “cleat,” on the sole of the shoe, which
clicks into a mating spring-loaded fxture on the pedal. They only engage or disengage with a very specifc
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 instruc-tions, or ask your dealer to show you how to
make this adjustment. Use the easi¬est setting until engaging and disengaging becomes a refex action, but
always make sure that there is suffcient tension to prevent unintended release of your foot from the pedal.
