Today was Theresa's first try at clipless peddles. When she first got her fisher she had me take off the clipless pedals and put on some platforms. Real nasty ones too! She said that she was scared to use clipless because she thought she might fall. Whatever!!! Anyways...After she got 10 stitches in her shin form the nasty platform pedals she decided that she might want to try riding clipless. Weired! Anyways, we bought her some clipless shoes...and...get this...she still didn't want to try them. So...I made her agree on a day to try em out. After switching out the pedals and prepping the bikes we headed out to Emerson Point. She didn't even fall!! Can you believe it!!! No scratches, No bumps, No Bruises, and No injuries to the ego. What a great ride! She even admitted that they made her feel more confident on the bike. Why didn't any one think of these "clipless pedals" before?
Join us next update...same clipless blog...same clipless time!
Keep on ridin!
Ryan...what's a clipless pedal vs. a platform pedal? I'm biking ignorant.
ReplyDeleteOh for crying out loud!!! Clipless peddles are exactly what the name implies. Clip-less except they have clips on them. Hey, don't ask me. I didn't make it up. You need to have special shoes to use these pedals. Platform pedles are exactly what the name implies. No really...they are platforms with little nubs on them. These are the standard peddles that you remember from your childhood. You know...the ones that tore up your shins when your foot slipped off. Yep, that's them.
