pedals and cleats

[RoadRaven]

Hmm... I stand (sit) corrected.

Interesting Python... I didn't know that.

My "always" is based on only on my/our experience. Bikes come without pedals, and you choose your pedals. But our new bikes with pedals don't come with cleats unless we have negotiated them.

So, I guess the upshot Rach is always ask... good luck

Here in Indiana, the cleats usually come with the pedals. Did the bike shop install the pedals? if they did they should have installed the cleats. What kind of pedals are they?

My pedals came with cleats too. I have Crankbrothers Quattros. I successfully installed the pedals and cleats myself...it was easier than I expected.

last week I purchased new shoes and pedals, SPD. Cleats were included. Of course, I also purchased the bike, bag and everything else I needed to start. The LBS threw in many freebies, I didn't think to ask about cleats, they just took care of me and there are no charges for them on my BOS. But now I have learned not to take that for granted if (when) I make any changes.

P.S. I didn't buy my pedals at the shops where I bought the bikes, and the cleats came in the box with the pedals so I didn't have to ask for them specifically . . .
