My experience with cleats

Leave a Comment
As I am gradually getting more serious with cycling I decided that I wanted to try out cleats.

Not wanting to spend too much money in equipment I may not use again if I didn't like. I brought a pair of cycle shoes off eBay for around fifteen pounds and brought the pedals for about a tenner. After going to the bike shop to get the pedals on (they had completely seized up and I didn't have a spanner big enough to get them off!) I felt ready to try them out.

Firstly it went awful I clipped myself in and just completely fell sideways. it was awful and I had really hurt my shoulder. Next I went to a quiet car park with my boyfriend and just practiced cycling around and clipping and unclipping them. 

I certainly feel confident in them now and feel I have more control of the bike and can get power to the pedals. I certainly will continue using them. I am not quite ready to use them on hills and slopes yet. Again however I will just practice and take it slow. 

The cycle shoes I use are by specialised 
The pedals are keo.
