Clips and Cycling Shoes - Are the Necessary?

Clips and cycling shoes - are the necessary? Here are some important things to know about using clips and indoor cycling shoes:

Why are clips and cycling shoes important for indoor cycling classes?

Clips and cycling shoes are important when cycling because they allow the rider to attach their feet to the pedals. This provides a more secure and efficient transfer of power from the rider's legs to the bike. Clips also help to maintain proper foot position on the pedals, reducing the risk of slipping or losing balance. Additionally, using clips can improve the rider's overall pedaling technique, help to reduce fatigue on longer rides, and decrease the chance of injury to the foot.

What type of clips work with the bikes at Alainn Studio?

Our bike pedals are compatible with SPD clips.

What if I do not have indoor cycling shoes or SPD clips - Can I still take a cycling class at Alainn Studio?

Yes! Our bike pedals are also equipped for participants to ride in sneakers.

Where can I find/purchase SPD clips and indoor cycling shoes?

SPD clips and indoor cycling shoes can be purchased in person at a local bike shop, as well as easily ordered online.
