Tech Talk: Choosing Pedals
 
Click for Tech Talk: Choosing Pedals Your pedals are one of the three contact points between your body and your bicycle (the other two being your handlebar and seat). Choosing the right pedals to meet your needs can help make your cycling experience more enjoyable, not to mention safer and a better workout.

But, like with most bike parts, there is a confusing array of options and terminology when it comes to pedals. What are the different options for pedals, and why would you choose one over the other? Find out in this article:

Tech Talk: Choosing Pedals

And don't forget, you can also learn about all picking the right pedals in one of our all-new, all FREE Bicycling and Maintenance Clinics! The Choosing and Using Clipless Pedals Clinic will be held at all three of our stores at 6:30pm on Tuesday, January 31, 2012. For the complete list of all of our clinics, click on over to:
