We highly recommend flat shoes and flat pedals for learning the correct skills and techniques. If you are unsure about learning new skills on cleats then we highly recommend flat pedals. In most cases flat pedals are safer to learn and practice during the skills clinic. We often find that many people worry so much about cleating in and out that they cannot focus on the skill or technique being taught and their confidence completely falls away. If riding clipped-in is second nature and you never have to think about getting in or out, you are most welcome to bring them. However, flats really do make learning new skills easier and make you feel a lot more confident, so if you have access to flats, we recommend bringing them. We will have the tools available to switch them for you. Make sure your shoes will be compatible with the pedals you are using and have good sticky, durable soles with protection around the toes. ***Please note takkies or flat shoes will not work with a cleat pedal.
