    Hi, my daughter has recently started to ride a road bike and has joined a club. She was a little worried about using the pedals which require the shoe to be locked into place.( there’s probably a name for them but I have no idea :S ) she has now changed her mind. Can you please tell me if these pedals are suitable with cleats? Thank you

    Also. Some cleats have 3 bolts and some have 2. The shoes need to have the correct number of holes. (Convention is 3 holes for road bike and 2 for mountain bike). They are much better than straps because the natural instinct when falling sideways is to move the foot to the side which releases the cleat, not backwards as you would have to to escape from the strap. Adjust the pedal tension to the minimum when starting for easy removal.

    Cleats need to match to the model,brand of the pedal.

    New clip in pedals (confusingly called clipless pedals) will come with cleats.

    Yes you are right. The straps
    Yes you are right. The straps were removed as my daughter didn’t like them. So will we have to buy different pedals to go with the cleats?

    I’m no expert, but they look like pedals from which the toe clips have been removed and are dangerous to use.
