Ritchey pedals

There are recessed-cleat style pedals that work well for most riders.  The cleats that attach to your shoes don’t protrude from the sole, so you don’t walk funny when you are off the bike.  For commuters riding their bikes aboard the Seattle to Bainbridge or Kingston to Edmonds boats, this is the style of pedals you want.  Most of the recessed-cleat (or “SPD”) style pedals are double-sided, so they are easier to clip into without looking down, making them the most common pedal style used for mountain biking.  We have pedals from Shimano, Ritchey, Crank Brothers, Time and Speedplay to pick from in this category.

Road pedals from Look

Time pedals are staff favorites.

Speedplay has a broad range of options

Road-bike style clipless pedals are typically single-sided, with a wider, but thinner, platform to support your foot.  They are generally more comfortable, and more efficient with less slop in the attachment.

Half platform, half clip-in.

When efficiency and longer ride comfort is more important, like on most road rides, road style clipless pedals are the best.  We have pedal options from Shimano, Time, Speedplay, Look, and Crank Brothers for your road bike.

Don’t want to be clipped in?  We have a wide range of platform and toe-clip style pedals as well.
