Cycling Tip: Power Pedal Position

Having trouble getting started on your bike after stopping at that red light? Then get rid of your scooter start and place a foot into the power pedal position. You will have a smoother, faster take off and you will have less chances of falling when pushing off the ground using a shoe with cleats.

When you stop at a red light:
1. Clip out of one pedal and place one foot on the ground for balance
2. Keep the other foot clipped into the pedal and position the foot/pedal between 1 and 3 o'clock
3. When the light turns green, push on the pedal and then smoothly clip in with your other shoe
