Are the pedals usable without clipped shoes on one side?

I have not used the clips on shoes, nor the pedals. I am very insecure about having my feet strapped or clipped to the pedals. So I am going say, "Yes, give it a try."

The pedals that come with these shoes have clips on both sides and are intended to be used with clipped shoes exclusively.

Unfortunately, no. I tried putting a pair of regular, toe-clip bicycle pedals on mine, but of course the pedals won't fit. Platform pedals work reasonably well, but straps/toe clips would help.

No the pedals that come with this stationary bike are the ones that have the toe guard and tightening strap that binds around your foot and shoe. But i looked on amazon and there are lots of options for the clipless pedals you may need and can change these out. Because it is really a great bike , and great price. We upgraded the seat on ours and we love it. Hope this was helpful.

Yes. That said I prefer shoes. I rarely go outside barefoot so my comfort zone is with shoes. The pedals are relatively large, more comfortable that typical bike pedals.

Yes with these pedals you can wear street shoes or spd cleats. I agree w/ the other person that if you're concerned about weight then these are wrong for you.

Standard SPD, one side only - other side is shaped for aerodynamics, not for traction! They do hang at a consistent angle with the cleat facing the rear so it is easy to roll the pedal and step into the connection easily.

A lot will depend on your shoes and the type of riding. If you are doing much out-of-the-saddle riding then a strapped clipless may be better, otherwise, if they fit your shoes, then these will be just fine. Be sure to practice getting out of them when you need to and get used to stuffing the toes in securely when jamming uphill and on technical downhills. Safety first. As for the pedals themselves, I prefer metal pedals with good bearings, but I am still using the originals that came with my 1988 Fisher Montare! No suspension for me, so a pedal's gotta be pretty durable on my fat tire bike.

This model has built in toe clips and straps. So clips aren't needed. After using this pedal for a while I don't recommend it except as a cheap replacement with full knowledge that the bearings aren't packed well. I'd look elsewhere.

You don't need clips, these pedals don't use them. Just use regular shoes, the toe fits into the plastic piece in front and then use the straps to adjust tension. Recommend adjusting tension off the bike, not while riding.

Yes, this pedal attaches to the cleats on one side of your pedals, and the other side's cleats remain unused.

They are not very sturdy. Foot will slip off. If the pedals do not have where to install them you will have to use pipe fasteners.

The pedals that came with the bike have cages. If u want to use bike shoes with clips you will need to order new pedals. I found the clips pedals on Amazon for $25.00. I bought the SPD pedals and they were easy to install on the bike�

No they will need a special shoe. The normal shoe is a lot wider then this pedal. If you are looking to just use normal sneakers some stores sell these clips that you shoe actuall fits in and that is what I had prior to these pedals. I will say that since I have converted to these, I wonder why I did not do this before, they make such a big difference.

The pedals have clips on one side and clip-less on the other. The clip-less side are for the smaller mountain bike cleats. Unless you have a mountain bike or hybrid that has the clip-less pedals I would stick to just using running shoes with the clip side of the pedal.

SPD cleats and pedals are usually compatible but I'm not familiar with the shoe. Sorry

When I received my pedals they only had the clips, no straps. Hope this helps.

This bikes comes with toe clips and strap that go over your foot and does not come with the clip-in pedals that you would use for cycling shoes. You can, however, add any type of pedals you want as they are standard pedals.
