  1. Hello,

    I pronate moderately when I walk or run but when I am clipped into my pedals, my shoes are basically
    pointing straight ahead.

    I was wondering if your cleat position and in turn your shoe postion once clipped into your pedal,
    should end up pointing the same way as walking or running?? I hope this makes sense, but I have been
    spinning quite regularly and am really noticing my foot position while on the bike varies from any
    other time I am on my feet.

    Thanks, Joel

    That sounds like a good start. Bring a wrench along on your first few rides so you can tweak the
    cleat positions if you feel any unusual pressure on your knees.

    I don't know that the two are necessarily related, I point my toes in on the bike, but don't walk or
    run that way. While you can experiment with different cleat angles, I think a faster way of
    determining what angle your feet prefer is to ride with flat pedals and sneakers and see where your
    feet like to go.
