New Torker: My first attempts trying to ride...
Carl Barrentine wrote: *As a cyclist, I 'clip-in' to my heel-less shoes near the 'ball' of the foot. But fiddlin' with this uni, I feel that I have more control on the unicycle when I wear a heeled shoe and make contact with the pedal in the arch portion of my foot. Here's the question: Is there a preferred or recommended way that I should place my feet on the pedals to maximize balance, control, and smooth cadence? * I must agree with you, in my experience i have noticed that when the contact is in the arch of the foot you become more in control, i know have pinned pedals, and those don`t allow foot movement once placed, so unless the arch of my foot lands on the pedal, i dismount or try to correct this, i have also noticed it when teaching how to ride to others that the rides become somewhat smother. if you check some of the threads about shoes you may also notice that most of us prefer the ones with flat soles, i belive this is directly related to the topic. -- unarueda - teaching the dark art of unicycling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unarueda's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4324 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/28090 |
