If you start taking your cycling seriously, one of the first things you might look to upgrade is your choice of footwear and pedals. Being 'clipped in' is a great way to increase your pedaling efficiency on the bike, and, despite the first ride being a nerve-wracking experience, they're easy to get used to. 

Clipping in requires special clipless pedals, as well as cycling-specific shoes. Affixed to the sole of your shoes will be cleats, and it's these that clip into the pedal and hold your feet steady on the pedals.
