Never forget your bike shoes

I’m a right below-knee amputee with a paralyzed left foot, and I’ve been using these magnetic pedals for a couple of years. At first, I just thought they were a cool and convenient accessory. But a few months ago, I accidentally forgot my bike shoes while heading to Sugarloaf Mountain Bike Park for a day of downhill riding. That’s when I realized these pedals aren’t just convenient—they’re absolutely essential.

Without my bike shoes, I found myself constantly checking if my feet were still on the pedals, and it made me fully appreciate the security and stability these provide. Since then, I’ll never ride without them. For adaptive riders especially, these pedals are a complete game-changer.
