Using these pedals is straightforward. Just clip your shoes onto the pedals and you're ready to go. When you're done riding, unclip to get off the bike. For safety, always make sure your shoes are properly attached to the pedals before starting your ride. To maintain these pedals, clean them regularly with a soft brush and mild soap after each ride, especially if you've been in wet or muddy conditions. This helps prevent dirt and grime from building up and affecting the pedal's performance. Also, check the pedal's moving parts periodically for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, it's a good idea to take them to a professional bike mechanic for further inspection.
