The power pedal position is your sure fire way to get started! Take it from me, I’m an LCI: a certified League Cycling Instructor with the League of American Bicyclists.
Power Up Your Start! ⚡️Don’t just push off—position yourself for success!
In this shot, we’re dialing in the Power Pedal Position. 🕒🚲
Why the 11 o’clock position?
Maximum Momentum: Setting your lead pedal just before the top gives you the full range of motion for your first stroke.
Instant Balance: One solid push provides enough speed to stay upright and in control from the very first second.
Safety First: Clearing intersections quickly and confidently keeps you predictable in traffic.
Stop struggling with “lazy pedals” at the 6 o’clock position. Pull that pedal up, press with confidence, and go!
