Mountain biking is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, especially during the summer and fall. As with other sports, cycling requires proper footwear. Mountain bike shoes should be comfortable and allow special cleats for bike pedals, such as Shimano SPDs, to be placed on the bottom. Pedals like the Shimano SPD are great to have for biking. You are locked in for pedaling, but it is easy to twist out and unclip at a stop. Your feet will pull out if you crash, so they are also a great safety device and much nicer than toe clips. These types of pedals and special shoes are also available for roadies (road cyclists).
