Bicycle pedals provide a secure grip on the bike and ensure that the power from the pedaling motion and thus the wheel propulsion is not wasted senselessly. Without pedals there is no power transmission to the wheel and no locomotion on it. 

Bicycle pedals can be basically divided into platform pedals, which have no fixed attachment to the shoes. These pedals are flexible and allow the use of all kinds of shoes. So here there is no need to use special cycling shoes. For sporty riders and drivers are instead click pedals, which in combination with suitable cycling shoes offer a firm bond between man and the wheel. With clipless pedals, a connecting plate (cleat) on the pedal engages with a counter plate on the underside of the shoe, creating a firm connection. During the upward pedaling motion, pedals connected to the cycling shoes no longer lose power but transfer it to the pedaling motion.

Road cyclists and mountain bikers usually rely on the clipless pedals, for example, from Look, Shimano or Voxom. Everyday or recreational riders and commuters prefer to use platform pedals instead. For touring bikers offer combi pedals that combine the advantages of both systems. On the one hand, these have click and on the other hand platform elements.

At Bobshop you will find for all types of pedals no matter whether road bike pedals, MTB pedals or flat pedals.
