Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

HELP! shoe stuck in pedal

Is there a way to release the padal without twisting the shoe? It seems as though one of the scres in my cleat has come out because I can spin the shoe 360 degrees.


I wish someone could've got a picture of my face trying to dismount at that stoplight.

what pedals are we talking about?

If we are talking along the lines of looks, that doenst make sense, yes the screw couldve lossenes but it couldnt have fallen out becasue it doesnt have space.

And as said above kind of, find the tension screw for the pedal, and loosen that sucker. that should do it. But dont loosen it to much Just in Case.

Ouch Depending on the pedals spring set up and if you can get at it from the bottom you might beable to gently use 2 flat head scredrivers to push the sprng back and release the pedal. Or maybe even put a new screw in to the cleat from the bottom of the pedal.

What type of pedals? I'd try some type of lever action on the spring portion of the pedal if at all possible.
