General Instruction Manual
Sharp edges.
Some bicycles come equipped with pedals that have sharp and potentially
dangerous surfaces. These surfaces are designed to add safety by increasing grip
between the rider’s shoe and the pedal. If your bicycle has this type of pedal, you
must take extra care to avoid serious injury from the pedals’ sharp surfaces. Your
Whyte dealer can show you several ways to reduce the risk of injury.
Toeclips and straps.
These are a long established way to keep feet correctly engaged on 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. Toeclips and straps work most effectively with spe-
cial cycling shoes designed for use with toeclips. Should you wish to use them, ask
your Whyte dealer how toeclips and straps work. Certain shoes, such as those with
deep treaded soles, should not be used with toeclips and straps, if they make it diffi-
cult to remove your foot.
WARNING: Getting into and out of pedals with toeclips and
straps requires a particular skill. This can only be acquired
with practice. The technique can distract your attention and
cause 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 to begin with. Only tighten them once
you have a very good technique and confidence for getting in
and out of the pedals. Never ride in traffic with your toe
straps tight.
Other pedals types.
There are several other ways how your shoes can be engaged on the pedals. Given
that range of choice, we do not fit pedals to most of the Whyte bike range. Instead,
consult your Whyte dealer for advice on which type of pedal will suit your riding
style. Be sure to follow the pedal manufacturer’s setup and service instructions.
