How to Properly Clip into Mountain Bike Pedals: A Step-by-Step Guide
To clip into mountain bike pedals, first position the cleat on the bottom of your shoe into the pedal. Press down firmly until you hear and feel a click, indicating that the cleat is fully engaged and you are clipped in. To release, simply twist your heel outward to disengage the cleat from the pedal. Practice in a flat, open area until you are comfortable clipping in and out before hitting the trails.
