Gear Alert: Pocket Pedals

Why: Because pedalling without cleats on everyday shoes is a PITA

Just slip the Pocket Pedals over your bike’s pedals and anyone can conveniently use y our bike without the need to wear cleats and bike shoes. It’s just a handy invention.

There have been many similar inventions like this over the last 10 years or so but Pocket Pedals are a tad different. Here’s why

  1. Works with Shimano SPD and SPD-SL
  2. you can rest  your foot on either side of the pedal
  3. Large platform area
  4. Easy on, easy off. No screws or bolts.
  5. A bargain at €30/£25

They’re so good they have sold out until later in MAa 2022.

Buy direct or from Stockists (including Sigma Sports in the UK, my LBS!)
