Road bike pedals

The relationship between bike, pedal and shoe on a road bike is a very important one. Some people do still prefer the more traditional "pedal and strap" set up, but even beginners are now using cycling specific shoes and clipless "SPD" pedals. Being attached to your bike, simply delivers your energy more sufficiently and over longer distances, this can make a huge difference, as much as 20% in some cases. Certain shoes only work with certain pedals and cleats, so if you're not sure what to do, please get in touch, we'll be glad to help.
