bicycle question



Recommended Posts

When I'm pedaling,I notice my feet start tilting to the side of my foot instead of the sole of my feet. Is my seat up too high or is something else wrong?

Sound like yes seat up too high- or wrong size of bike- do you cycle road or mountain?

Also are you using clip less pedals- or do you use a shoe with clips?

I am using an adult-sized tricycle. It is on the road, as smooth as I can get it.

I'm assuming since I have no idea what that means, they are clipless, both shoes and pedals.

Oh - I see :-)

I don't have any experience in adult trike riding. I wish I could help :-)

These are what pedals look like on a road bike- and then there is a clip on the cycling shoe that attaches itself to the pedal. These are clips. :-)

The last one is a clip-less you just slip your foot in- and it helps to hold your foot steady and secure in the cage (pedal) I started as a beginner with the last ones.

I would say that your distance from the pedal is not correct with your shoe- and that's the reason for the side pushing.

Thanks - I'll try lowering the seat... Hopefully that makes it less exhausting, too.
