    For those who live in Singapore, be sure to go to SG Cycling Shoes and look for Henry & Ajay for your next pair of cycling shoes (which you can get 10% off when you show them this video - discount works until the end of the year!) 🎉 😎

    Hot tip! Always unclip one foot before coming to a full stop. Idea is to have one foot ready to plant on the ground while coasting to a stop. This will end your anxiety of using clipless pedals and put an end to falling over.

  • @DavosPessos
    @DavosPessos 3 года назад +10

    Ok one thing the bike shop forgot to tell you is that when you starting out as a beginner to clipless, back off some of the cleat tension on the pedals that way you can get in/out of them easily. As confidence/ muscle memory (from having to swing foot outwards to unclip) and experience grows then you can do up the tension to a point that is ideal for you.... it will save your knees and ( pride ) 😁😁 besides unless you going racing or you in the pro leagues you donr need the tension done up mega tight!! We on open, live roads you need some degree of getting out your pedals if emergency crops up☝🏾

    Hello! I am from melbourne and I have watched your 2 videos on cycling and they are great. I cant wait to bring my bike over to singapore!
    Btw i think your saddle can be raised slightly higher (1-3cm) for better pedalling efficiency. If you if feel like your feet are far from the ground (happens with smaller riders) you can always lean the bike towards the unclipped foot to get off

    New to your channel. Just saw how you pedal with the cleats, don’t tip toe. Your foot while pedalling should be flat to stretch your hamstring and to avoid cramps while riding. And I tell you, you don’t wanna get cramps when your legs are tired.

    welcome to the club. Everyone does it. In fact I was in NYC for a cycling group and someone right in front of me didn't clip out and fell on their side. I've been using clips in for years and still have troubles at times. Try to clip out of both at the same time.

    You did great. You chose the right shoe in 39 that fits-he was right fit is everything. Look pedals are a great choice as they have a lot of surface area and they have been around forever with their 3 point cleats and pedals-easy to replace and upgrade. Please practice going hard and stopping fast to get out of pedals ASAP. You look very cute in white too!

  • @pingpong229

    No bandaid on that wound. Clean it, apply some Neosporin and just let it dry. The bandaid will make it moist n will take longer to heal. You want to keep it dry. It'll become moist during recovery but eventually will dry out and that's where it'll be fun to pick on the scab when it heals!

    You should have went for a shimano cleat mounts and clipless pedals. The seller basically stripped your budget down to paying twice the price since you’re just a beginner. Shimano ones are budget friendly if your just starting out for a clipless shoes, pedals and mounts.

    I was really WOW with the store. It’s impressive but the advise and comments from the rep are concerning. Please do not work your way to 0degree float. Unless you’re a pro or recommended by a bike fitter, it will cause knee issues. Also surprised he didn’t measure your feet. Nice shoes and brand though!!!! Keep riding!!!! I’m closing in 10,000km for the year! Can’t wait for your first 100km!

    I then spent a few cups of tea clicking in and out.
    In all diffrent positions the foot can be in pedalling.
    30, 40 mins getting used to this movement will save a bit of pain.

    Sherry sweetheart, excellent video, and please also get yourself a pair of gloves. Not only will you grip the handlebars better, but more importantly it will protect your hands from road rash should you fall off your bike. If the shoes you bought do not work out, I highly recommend Specialized cycling shoes. Also, always carry a spare tube tire and tools.

    Nice!! Go Girl!! 👍👍❤❤.
    Cyclists tend to dress in very bright, loud colors, stripes, patches many different colors. This is for SAFETY not fashion. Of course, it becomes a cycling fashion. I also will dress in LOUD colors to draw attention of drivers. I suggest you change your white shirt to something brighter, louder. It better reflects your sunny positive personality also. Avoid drab colors, grey, light brown... drivers don't notice you until they are very close. SAFETY First.
    Serious cyclists wear cycling sun glasses. Not just to protect from sun but also from dust and dirt thrown out by bus, construction trucks, trailers .... wheels. Once, I was hit in the eye by a small stone churn up from a truck's wheels. Hurt like hell and almost crash on busy street. Could hardly see. So make sure you wear sun glasses.
    Cycling sun glasses are special. Typically, they allow you to change the glasses to darker, lighter depending on conditions ie. they come with a few pairs of different inter-changeable glasses/shades. They usually have an offset from your nose bridge. Ie. there is a 5-8mm gap from your nose bridge and also face. This is to provide ventilation and prevent fogging of lenses. Some glasses have small cutouts on the top of the lens for this purpose also. Others like Adidas have adjustable nose bridges/ear rests to adjust how and the angle the glasses sit on your face. Prescription lenses/inserts are also available. Ie. perfect vision on the road.
    The expensive ones usually provide a sweat strip attached above the frame just above the eye brows to absorb the dripping sweat from your forehead. Also, cycling glasses tend to have larger lenses to prevent sunlight hitting your eyes when you are fully lowered ie hands on the drops. And the lenses will wrap around to the side of the face to prevent sunlight coming from the sides. Google:
    Prescription Adidas Running & Bicycling Sunglasses
    Decathlon Cat 0 + 3 Interchangeable Cross-Country Mountain Bike Glasses Pack - Black
    HUBO SPORTS Cycling Glasses, TR90 Unbreakable Frame Polarized Sports Sunglasses, Bike Glasses for Men Women with 5 Interchangeable Lens, Anti-UV400 for Driving Fishing Glof Baseball Running Hiking

I have completed 10 rides so far and there are no issues. The first time trying to fit them on the Peloton bike took 10 minutes (even with the help of an experienced cyclist friend who wears the same type of cleats). It took a couple of rides to break in. After the first two rides there were no issues at all.

    You DO NOT work your way up to 0 degree float. The float is designed to allow your ankle and knee to have some tolerance (I.e float) when connected to the pedal. The required amount of float is different for every rider irrespective of length of time cycling or strength of the rider etc.
    0 degree cleats are hardly used even in the pro peloton except for sprinters who are required to make every watt of output count and transition into the pedal, for the rest of the riders, they will have some degree of float, it PREVENTS injury!
    Advising people to move towards a 0 degree float is just wrong….it is NOT common for people to use and saying so on a platform with a new cyclist and a new cycling audience I don’t think is cool…..
