Clipless pedaling foot-retention systems
If this bike came without pedals, you will choose the pedals
that are best for you. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use of these pedals.
This bicycle may be equipped with pedals having a clipless
foot retention system which allows you to firmly attach your
shoe to the pedal without toeclips. Incorrect installation of
the cleats could cause physical injury, so cleat installation
should be done by your Fisher dealer.
In addition, some clipless pedals allow adjustment of the
force required to enter or exit the pedals. For adjustment
information, read the pedal manufacturer’s instructions
supplied with your bike. If you did not receive pedal informa-
tion, get a copy from your dealer, or contact us and we’ll
send them to you. The following information is only meant to
supplement the pedal manufacturer’s instructions.
Familiarize yourself with the use of these pedals. If you are new to
clipless pedals, practice entry and exit before your first ride.
Watch the road while in motion. Looking at your pedals will make it
difficult to see upcoming obstacles. After first practicing in a stationary
position, an empty, flat parking lot provides an excellent place to
practice the following:
• Before attempting to engage your cleated shoe into the pedal,
always check both the cleats and the pedals for any contamination such
as mud and stones which may interfere with entry or exit of this system,
and remove it.
• To enter the first pedal, engage the front of the cleat into the front
of the pedal (Fig. 22) and press down with the ball of your foot. You
should hear an audible click signifying completed entry into the pedal.
Check attachment by attempting a rolling motion on the pedal (Fig.
23). If you can roll your shoe off the pedal, start the procedure again.
To mount the bike, push down on this pedal while pushing off with the
other foot, and at the same time, sit on the bicycle seat. Once moving,
put your other foot into the second pedal using the same technique.
• To exit the system, twist your heel laterally away from the centerline
of the bike (Fig. 24).
Always disengage at least one foot from the pedals
before stopping.

WARNING
Improper use of the clipless pedaling foot-retention system may
cause loss of control resulting in personal injury. If you are
uncertain about the operation of this system, consult your Fisher
dealer. If your bicycle has clipless pedals and you do not want
them, ask your Fisher dealer about other types of pedals.
