Are the pedals comfortable enough to use without shoes?

Yes, very comfortable seat & I enjoy it, only had to made some adjustments on the magnet.

Yes. That said I prefer shoes. I rarely go outside barefoot so my comfort zone is with shoes. The pedals are relatively large, more comfortable that typical bike pedals.

There is an optional foot pedal to switch settings as a convenience but it is not needed.

Its different than an outdoor bike in that it doesn't freewheel so your transition has to be done in cadence. The supplied pedals are good quality but they don't take clip in shoes. I tried a hill climb as you described several times, the bike is plenty sturdy but my knees were kind of close to the brake calipers.. No problem getting my heart rate up into zone 4 seated so I'm not going to bother trying those standing sprints.

I think the pedals are a little too small for normal shoes but the pedals are still flat do I don't see why not. Matter of personal preference I suppose!!!

Yes, the exterior "cage" that protects the clipping mechanism from dirt and other debris also functions very well as a platform to rest your feet on. Granted it won't feel as comfy as a completely flat pedal it will certainly do the job. I've ridden my mountain bike with these pedals around Hoboken, NJ many times with no issue.

No the pedals that come with this stationary bike are the ones that have the toe guard and tightening strap that binds around your foot and shoe. But i looked on amazon and there are lots of options for the clipless pedals you may need and can change these out. Because it is really a great bike , and great price. We upgraded the seat on ours and we love it. Hope this was helpful.

Yes with these pedals you can wear street shoes or spd cleats. I agree w/ the other person that if you're concerned about weight then these are wrong for you.

You would need to get clip less pedals put on the spin bike for your shoes work, but yes can be done.

No. The pedal is similar to a road bike pedal but in SPD form allowing you to use SPD clips. Your foot rests more on the pedal than the standard SPD pedal allowing for a more comfortable ride if you are doing a long road outing.

That is correct. Me and my husband had an extra pair of clip pedals that we installed on the bike, allowing us to use our bike shoes while riding the training.

Technically yes but they're not very good when used with spd pedals. The cleats move around a lot (much more than a standard float) and unclipping is almost impossible. You'd be much better off with the mountain bike version of these (Shimano SH-M088).

Hi Yitz, No you can't use Look Keo cleats with pedals, Look cleats don't fix 100% well, don't work.

You would need to get clip pedals separately as they come with regular pedals that have toe straps.

Yes. You just have to get used to flipping the pedal into position with your toe.

No. The handle bars are directly connected to the pedal motion. You don't have to use the handles though, you can just pedal and be hands free but your handle bars will be moving.
