HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS The bike pedal safety straps keep the user’s shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit comfortably, but they also should be tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation. Before working out, the user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps. The straps can be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes. Each strap is held in place by a spring-loaded clip that is connected to the outer edge of each pedal.
