Step 1
Different types of bikes require different types of pedals. Begin your search by focusing on the pedals that fit your particular style of bike--road bike, mountain bike or BMX.
-
Step 2
Decide whether you want clipless pedals, which are designed to work with special shoes that click into them; toe clips, which have straps that hold your feet in place, or flat pedals, which offer up a basic, no-frills design.
-
Step 3
Explore the pedal options in your chosen category. The best pedals will feature an open, easy-to-clean design and be easy to lubricate. If you're shopping for clipless pedals, also look for a set that allows you to adjust the entry and release tension--important for a hassle-free and safe ride.
-
Step 4
Once you've narrowed your search to a few pedal models, go online to read consumer reviews. You can often find these right on cycling merchandiser's websites.

Step 5
Then, make your selection, and put in some practice time with your new pedals before hitting the road (or trails).
