Another noob question here: I notice that I ride with my arch of my foot on the pedals. Should I be trying to keep the toe part of my foot there?
Thanks again!
Hehehe, yes, the death grip. I still do that going uphills, don't ask why.
You should try to keep the ball of your foot on the pedals. Eventually, if you go to clipless, that's where your foot will be positioned anyway. It's also the most efficient place for your pedal stroke.
