Hi,

Your legs are remarkably good at working out what to do
in different situations once you rack up some mileage.

No real conscious effort involved, mix up your riding
and you will shift position and pedalling style to suit.

The only thing I do occasionally is jam both feet as
far forward into the toeclips as they will go, generally
for an uphill slog, the rest of the time my feet position
varies on the pedals depending on what I'm doing.

Same with my flat pedal folder, sometimes I purposely
move my feet forward, rest of the time go with the flow.

Putting low torque through the pedals I tend to use the
ball and toes, as as the torque increases my feet move
forward on the pedals, don't notice that most of the time.

rgds, sreten.

I can now pedal as smooth as butter pushing somewhat,
with no effort trying to learn to do it, it just comes with
doing it, and I will get better at pushing hard smoothly.
