September 06, 2024Say goodbye to the days of fumbling for pedals mid-ride. Clipless pedals, a staple in the world of road cycling, offer a secure and efficient connection between rider and bike. Unlike platform pedals where your foot simply rests on top, clipless pedals feature a cleat that attaches to your cycling shoe, allowing you to "clip in" for a locked-in feel.

Tweeks' very own Ali has been busy scribbling again – and this time it wasn't on a plaster cast! Ali has been debating the benefits of going over to the clipless side for a while, and well, he finally took the plunge! Read on to see what he thought of it – here's Ali:

I feel a change coming on though – as I am getting older (26 :) ), wiser and have taken up trail riding (with a goal of Gravity Enduro laser-sighted in my mind) and recently donned the Lycra and joined the masses on the roads. This means that I am now toying with the idea of breaking this lifetime promise and going clipped-in on the mountain bike.
