How to Mount Toe Clips

Toe clips sattach to bicycle pedals. They are installed with straps for easy foot removal as well as for adjusting their tightness because bicycle riders need to engage and disengage repeatedly for stopping or in case of a fall. The main purpose of the toe clips is to hold the foot securely to the pedals so riders can pedal more efficiently and with more stability. Toe clips can only be installed on pedals that have bolt holes.
