Do I need special shoes for the pedals or these are just regular pedals?

No. This bike comes with regular pedals. Very ordinary and cheap pedals, in fact.

They're just regular pedals. You can buy special pedals (for which you need special shoes) to replace these if you want to get really serious about biking. But the pedals that come with this bike are standard.

Depends on how you space them out. Its just open cloth platform using velcro tape to secure pedals.

no there is a special model made for toe clip pedals the project fixie ones are good for the price.

Standard. Mountain bike cleats will work.... However, my advice would be to spend more on better quality brand name pedals. These are roughly made and a good cleat will work just as well in the mud as when it's new.... These are not great quality.

It depends in your pedals. The cleats that come with these shoes are the standard 2 bolt SPD cleats. Many trainers use this type.

Hello! Because they're SPD's on both sides, it's not too practical to use them without cycling shoes. A great alternative to check out is Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal - SPD on one side, flat on the other for use with sneakers, etc. I hope this helps!

"Normal shoes" as in street shoes/tennis shoes/running shoes etc? No, not really a good idea, and I personally would really have to say "No." these are "clip in" style pedals that are for bike shoes with road cleats (specifically SPD-SL road cleats)... if you want to ride with "normal shoes" you really should use a pedal with toe clips such as the Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps, Black/Silver, 9/16 Inch Axle

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. A lot will depend on your shoes and the type of riding.

Yes if you are installing a SPD MTB type cleat in the shoe. But the Click'r system is made to clip in and out easier so I don't understand why you would choose this shoe and not a Click'r specific pedal. Which would be a better option. These pedals are OK, but I would not buy them again.

These should use Keo cleats. Your local bike shop should have them. If you bring them the bike (or your old cleats), you can be sure to get the correct model. On line .... good luck. It's not worth the very small savings unless you live far from a shop.

Hi Dawn, sorry for the delay but I purchased as a gift for a friend and had to contact her. It appears that the pedals are standard regular bike pedals, along with the toe cage, but no clips for cycling shoes to clip onto. I hope that helps in your decision, as I had to do some research to make sure I understood your question. Ha! Thanks for your patience!

You get two pedals. Also included are the cleats and bolts to mount to your shoes.

They bolted onto my cheap factory pedals on my Trek just fine. The pedals, however, do need to be designed to use toe clips. You need two bolt holes in the front and a slot in the middle of the sides for the strap to go through. If your pedals came on a road bike, they are probably good to go. Any other style of bike, you'll more than likely have to buy a set of pedals.

The included pedals are "clips". In other words a platform pedal with a strap.You can install your own clipless pedals very easily.

I don't think so. Those are road bike pedals and spd cleats are for.mountain bike pedels
