Consult your authorized K2 Bike dealer if you are unsure about clipless pedal operation. Clipless Pedal Release ! Clipless Pedals If your bike is equipped with clipless pedals, it is important to familiarize yourself with their use. If you do not have previous experience with the system, practice entry and exit before you ride. Position your bike beside a wall and hold yourself up while you practice. Then, proceed to a flat, empty spot such as a field or parking lot for some easy ride practice. In addition: 1. Before attempting to click into your pedals, inspect the cleat surfaces on your shoes and the clip surfaces on the pedals to ensure there is no debris (mud, stones, etc.) that might interfere with the action of the system. Clipless Pedal Entry 2. To enter the pedals, place your foot on the pedal surface and move it until you feel the cleat begin to engage in the retention surface. Press down and you should hear a click to signal that you are locked into the pedal. Lift your foot gently to be sure your cleats are completely engaged. 3. To release from the pedals, twist your heel out away from the bike while keeping your foot level with the ground. Important: Always disengage at least one foot from the pedals before coming to a complete stop. Caution: Improper use of clipless pedals can be extremely dangerous, and can result in loss of control and severe injuries.
