on 12/23/2008 THANK YOU! It was so hard for me to try and find info on how to pedal properly.

Video Transcript

"The benefit of having a good bike shoe for cleat and these pedals, the shoes and pedals go together is that you are going to have a much more efficient stroke on your bike. Now I am going to get over my bike and clip into my pedals and when I clip in, you can hear it pop. The next one is going to pop as well and I am in. The benefit of this is that I am going to be able to use all different muscle groups so that I have a smoother pedal stroke. Basically not only am I pushing down but I am pulling up and that gives much more efficiency on the bike. Like I said that it helps me use different muscle groups and it just keeps a good solid movement. When I stand up on my bike I also have the benefit of having a much more fluid movement and it is just a lot easier. I couldn't do this very well if I didn't have my feet clipped in to the pedals. "
