For instructions on how to properly place your cleats, we tapped Axell and Chris Balser, owner of Bicycle Fit Guru in Minneapolis, who has worked for 30 years fitting both Olympians and weekend warriors to their bikes. Not only that but having the right cleat placement also ensures you’ll be able to transfer maximum power so you get the most out of every workout. “Clipping your likely-asymmetrical body to a symmetrical system like a bike creates the potential for injuries.” “Cleat placement is very important, second only to saddle height,” says Marissa Axell, certified body geometry RETUL fit specialist with Roaring Mouse Cycles in San Francisco.
Most popular bikes these days like Peloton come with clipless pedals (the kind you clip into-yes, the name is confusing) so your shoes require a cleat that corresponds to the pedal style. Whether you’re taking a studio class (once coronavirus guidelines deem it safe again) or riding a stationary bike at home, knowing how to set up your indoor cycling shoes properly will help you get the most out of your workout and prevent injuries as you ride. Riding an indoor bike is an effective way to boost your fitness, cross-train, or rehab an injury.
