What road bike pedals to buy?

In road cycling we find mainly 4 brands or pedal systems: Shimano, Look, Time and Speedplay. The main difference that can be found between them is the amount of rotational movement of the foot that each one allows when we hook the shoe to the pedal. Some systems will fix the foot completely in the position in which we have hooked them and others leave the foot with more freedom so that it can be rotated before the mechanism that releases the foot from the pedal acts. What we should ask ourselves in this circumstance is whether we want to keep the foot totally fixed or not. The answer, which is not easy, will depend on what you use your bike for.

The best road bike pedals

Some are better for some things and others for others. Let's say that some can work well for some cyclists and yet not so well for others. There is no doubt that when pedaling with the foot fixed, the sensation of union with the pedal is greater, and therefore, it seems that we take better advantage of the pedal stroke. In a way, what we are achieving is great stability for the foot. However, there are cyclists whose knees cannot tolerate this level of stiffness and quickly experience discomfort or pain if they use a pedal that does not allow them to rotate their foot. This other system provides the foot with a few degrees of rotation once the shoe is hooked to the pedal. This causes the union of the knee and the foot to be more natural, and therefore reduces knee discomfort, which makes these systems the most used since it is more difficult to injure themselves with them and their placement is not very complicated.
