Tested the safety of SPD pedals and cleats this morning

[w0nderer]

15. we used to recommend

multi release
lighten the release spring first weeks then slowly tighten one notch per 2-3 rides till it suits

then we'd recommend (and allow) customers buying pedals and shoes to put their bike on a trainer and spend up to an hour on it clicking in, clicking out, jumping off bike

if customer wasn't willing we'd still recommend them to
go home, put the bike next to the garage wall, put a hand out, pedal backwards, clip in, clip out and turn on a half an hour play list on the ipod at least

(build muscle memory)

only customers we saw come back 'hurt' were the ones that didn't take the advice

spd's rock unless it's ice conditions or walk/ride/walk/ride conditions
