  • HOW TO CLIP IN + OUT OF YOUR BIKE

    Clipping in can feel a little awkward the first time. Once you know what you’re looking for, it becomes second nature.

    Here’s how to get clipped in and out of your bike at RIDE.

    01

    POSITION YOUR PEDAL

    Bring one pedal to a position where you can comfortably press down into it. Keep your hands on the handlebars for balance.

    02

    LINE UP YOUR CLEAT

    Locate the cleat underneath your cycling shoe. Position the front of the cleat into the front of the pedal mechanism.

    03

    PRESS DOWN

    Once the front of your cleat is hooked in, press down firmly through your heel until you hear or feel a click.

    04

    CHECK YOUR CONNECTION

    Gently lift your foot to make sure your shoe is securely attached to the pedal. Repeat on the other side.

    05

    READY TO RIDE

    Both feet should feel secure before you start pedalling. If you’re having trouble clipping in, just ask. Our team is always happy to help.

  • How to Set Up Your Bike

    A good RIDE starts with the right setup.

    Whether it’s your first spin class or you’ve been riding with us for years, taking a minute to properly set up your bike can make a big difference in how you feel in class.

    01

    START WITH YOUR SEAT HEIGHT

    Stand beside the bike and bring the seat to approximately hip height. Once you’re on the bike, you should have a slight bend in your knee at the bottom of your pedal stroke.

    02

    CHECK YOUR SEAT POSITION

    Your seat moves forward and backward too. Once you’re clipped in with your pedals level, your front knee should sit roughly over the centre of your foot.

    03

    SET YOUR HANDLEBARS

    If you’re new to indoor cycling, start with your handlebars a little higher. As you get more comfortable on the bike, you can lower them to a position that feels right for you. You should be able to reach the handlebars comfortably without stretching or putting too much weight into your hands.

    04

    CLIP IN

    Line up the cleat on the bottom of your cycling shoe with the pedal and press down until you feel it click into place. It might take a couple of tries at first. If you’re riding with us, just ask. We’ll get you clipped in.

    05

    MAKE IT YOURS

    Bike setup isn’t one-size-fits-all. These are your starting points, but small adjustments can make a big difference. Once you find a setup that feels good, take note of your numbers so you can set up your bike the same way for your next RIDE.
