- Why are they called "Clipless Pedals" when you actually have to clip into them??

I was terrified of these babies when I first started road cycling. I've heard about (and seen!) the horrors and injuries that can ensue when on clipless pedals, and it wasn't pretty.
Impatient honks from motorists when unable to clip in quick enough while moving off from red lights, and worse, bloody knees and bad falls from not being able to clip out in time, made me quite certain I would just stick to sneakers and not bother getting on clipless pedals.
But then I went for a bike fit where I was clipped in, and found the strokes to be so much more efficient. I realise you can set the tension on the clips, and was determined to learn too.
Here's me trying out cleats and clipless pedals for the first time, and filming an impromptu video tutorial on this in the meantime (really unplanned, so excuse the mishmash outfit and the no makeup!).
Tried to break it down into an as easy and step-by-step way possible, and I am confident if you follow these steps that you too will be cleating it up on the roads in no time!
PS: Still injury-free at the time of typing this. Am loving the efficiency of being on cleats!

Thank you for this simple video. I just got my cleats and a bit conscious about how to start using them. Glad that I came across this video
thanks jade, you're a natural teacher. Today is my 2nd day having installed my own cleat pedals. You pointed out many things that i've overlooked, but i haven't taken my bike out for a real ride yet. (wink) i'd rather not call them clipless bec when i was in sec sch, i had a bike with toe clips on them, so u know at least which era i'm from. Like u, i hv zenith rims & like u, i m singaporean, so i can most certainly identify with many of the things u talked about!
So helpful!
Thanks for the tips. I remember the time when I first used cleats. And you seldom fall when you are moving only when you are coming to a stop or sudden stop so to be safe, allow ample time and uncleat in when coming up to a traffic llght or when there are lotsa of people in front of you so that you can react in time and not fall. Another tip I picked up is coming to a stop, get off your saddle, that way you will never have a chance to lose balance onto the right side and fall over
To unclip on the up stroke is a good advice. That way, the other foot is on the down stroke ready for stop.
Ride safe and enjoy
Hi Jade, the landing foot or push off foot should be the dominant foot. It is not determined by which side of the traffic Singapore or any country uses. The dominant foot is usually the foot you use to kick a ball.
clipping in on right foot first makes sense from a safety perspective and also eliminates any possibility of your crank grazing your calf
i think it depends on how you actually move off. Personally I don't actually push off, but I push down on my on my dominant leg that is on the paddle as a "push off", so I get more speed
@@loijunkai but if your master leg or leading leg is left you will always auto clip in your left leg 1st. Like me cause my master leg is left I try to use right clip in 1st and I can’t control my balance well then my left leg. Like I am left handed I can’t use my right hand to write that well.
What u did at pillar can be lethal best to do within two walls
normally i clip in the non-master (left) foot so when i "land" will be on my master foot (right).. another style for others to consider. reason being naturally we have better support on our master foot..,,
a bit risky when stopping on the middle of the road for right hand drive countries like in Sg or UK . The traffic or cars are at your right in case you tend to lean to unclip from your right & fall .
Even already 4 years cycling use roadbike but still not use cleat 😅
Don't be too confident, panic sure bound to happen. Nice Java bike btw.
You will never forget the first time you fall. Bruises and your shattered ego. Also try with one cleat shoe and one running shoe. I'm lazy so I use doubled sided MTB cleats. Also when slowing down, unclip one shoe for safety.
I heard that some people experience foot numbness and hot spots when using SPDs. Do you find it to be the case? I think if numbness is not an issue, SPDs are a great idea for beginners cos they are easier to clip in and out of than look or SPD-SL
@@ghcheong I've never had any problems with numbness or hot spots. Double sided pedals sold me. No flipping pedals over. Clipping in is not always as smooth. Small surface area so you have to feel your way in. When I plan to upgrade, I'm going with chinese speedplays.
best place to practise is at the playground, will not scratch your bike if you fall
do you have aching or numb hands and sore shoulder ....looks abit stretch out.. your upper body weight looks like falling unto your hands.....you can try adjusting seat forward by 1cm .. and add short stem like 60mm with 30 degree to get shorter reach.... or watch this guy videos ua-cam.com/video/N4-AqnrzDVU/v-deo.html
Big butterfly 😂
The best way to learn clip less pedals is to go ride in them , and fall down.
Trust me, pain and shame are fast teachers
Yep. I was terrified of them. Until I tried them and fell. Then all the fear is gone and I learned it quick. In fact, I fell down because I had gone too slowly because of fear 😂
