Q. I’m new to road bikes but currently have toe clips which drag the pedal down and makes it tricky to get my foot in. If I was to try cleats what would be a good introductory version to use until I get used to them?
A. Cleats are pretty standard and come with pedals – it’s more a question of what combination of shoes and pedals are most appropriate for the type of riding you do, and how much you want to spend. Some pedals are clip in one side and flat the other; an excellent starter option and much safer.
