These are a game changer for anyone, who like me cannot get on with clip less pedals!
On receiving my first complete system, I could finally wear my Sidi cycling shoes and have cycled nearly 90 miles, they are so easy to get used to and all the performance without the fear of falling off when coming to a stop …

What can i say they’re the best things i brought for a long time, I couldn’t fit flat down hill pedals to my recently purchased Lauf Gravel Bike they would look ridiculous far to big, I came across these bythlon pedals on line and purchased them after a few rides i found them perfect as not being locked in but feels as if you are, I’ve had a couple of tumble’s but ok as i wasn’t attached to my bike , will be purchasing some more for my BMC hybrid bike .

Delighted with my new pedals. Had a few falls with clip-ins and my confidence dropped. Bythalon pedals are SO easy, you feel clipped in when you are cycling but when you stop you can easily lift your foot out. They are a great purchase and I have recommended them to lots of people in my cycling group. 😊

These are a game changer.. could not get on with clipless and my partner (an experienced cyclist) sourced these…attached them to my Sidi shoes and wow… all the benefits of clipless without the stress of clipless..cycled from Derbyshire to Blackpool without any problems at all, especially at the dreaded red lights ( I’ve only had a road bike for 9 months) could not recommend enough

Very very pleased with the pedals and cleats. Bought them just before Xmas 2021. I’m 77 years old still cycling. Now January 2022 too cold to go on the road. Got turbo out,brilliant with the Bythlon pedals. Get on bike slide foot over pedal and foot slots in. Feels like you’re locked in when pedalling, but you’re not. Stop pedalling and lift your foot away. Now into February got the rollers out. Excellent still feels like you’re locked in but you’re not. I’ve tried other pedals over the years, but these Bythlon pedals are the best I’ve ever had. Roll on the spring to go on the road I’m sure they will be perfect.

I swapped back to old fashioned cage and straps about 4 years ago after trying to get the hang of clip-less for over a year without success. I thought I would give these a try and am really impressed . l live in West Yorks so most of my riding is up and down steep hills and over potholes, and so far haven’t come out once even when stood up leaning over the front wheel. I have found them easy to get in and out of so now have the confidence to, almost, come to a stop at traffic lights and junctions before taking my foot off the peddles….Although the peddles are plastic the quality was much better than I expected and I think the pedals will last well. Overall; for me, a game changer really impressed.

I went out for the first time with my new pedals and did 55 miles
I felt much safer using these pedals – my foot was secure but I knew I could get my foot off the pedal quickly and safely if necessary
I would highly recommend these pedals for cyclist who are nervous about been locked in with traditional cleats
Love them!

This product is amazing.
I had a fall and broken wrist the first time I used clip ins and would never have had the confidence to use them again .
I’m 60 this year and have only been cycling a couple of years .
I do about 100 miles per week and love the bythlon pedals.
Easy to fit and a total game changer for me .
No panicking at planned junctions etc or unplanned moments you need to put your foot down as you just step out of the pedal . For me they are worth every penny.
Lisa Ridoutt (verified owner) –
Would definitely recommend these pedals. Cycled 100 miles last weekend whilst using them without any problems.
Very easy to clip in and out of and nice to feel the pull as I went uphill, giving me an extra bit of speed.

Having tried clip in pedals resulting in many a fall off and riding with my left foot only clipped in the pedal for years I did some research and came across these.
It was a magic moment!
Firstly my old pedals looked ridiculous on my beautiful Trek SL6 Domane as big and cumbersome. I’d slip off the unclipped pedal all the time and my husband was always getting ahead of me on his SL6 fully clipped in.
Well these are a revelation I’m so pleased I took the plunge and purchased them plus new shoes.
I have so much more push down equally on both pedals, they look superb on the bike and I have loads more confidence.
I can also keep up with my husband much to his annoyance!!!
I have slipped out a couple of times on my left side but once was going round a corner and hitting an unseen pothole and the second time just not having my heel pushed down enough.
They really are brilliant – so much so that I now want a pair for my second older Trek Silque bike.
A great product, no stopping me now – thank you.

At first struggled to locate the left pedal but after a few stops and starts have now have no problem at all and feel really confident and comfortable using them

I absolutely love my Bythlon pedals. They’re so easy to use. Perfect for commuting around the city or for long hilly rides. They’re great. Thank you. I now feel like a road cyclist and I’m no longer frowned upon for riding in trainers. Haha.

It is normal to struggle clipped in and out with standard clipless pedals; many people like me have a fear of unclipping quickly in emergency situation like slippery terrain and traffic lights. Using flat pedals instead caused me a number of issues until I came accords the bythlon system. The bythlon pedals allows me to use cycling shoes, so no issue with fat sports shoes touching the crank. They also allow me to use overshoes for the wet and cold winter days something I could not do before. Even more important with the bythlon pedals my feet do not slip around even under power and they are always positioned at the right position and angle which eliminates any pain and maximise performance. It’s really easy to clip in and even easier to unclip. Fits nice and elegantly under my cycling shoes and the stack does create any issue at all. I can even do fast rides and stand on the pedals with my feet anchored secured on my bythlons. I cannot fault them, they do anything that a cycling clipless pedal for not racing conditions is supposed to do. If your focus is racing then you may need to look elsewhere but for sportive cycling they are ideal for people who are not comfortable with other clipless systems. The price is fair given it is a start up, no different to mid range other brands.
Nicola Colley –
If you are not confident enough to wear clipless. but want to feel like a proper cyclist, these pedals are fabulous. Tried them for the first time today and had a wonderful time. It does take practice to “clip in” and locate the pedal correctly but so secure when they are in and easy to step out. Thoroughly recommend them.
Janet Fitzpatrick-Wilks (verified owner) –
I’m in my 60’s, relatively new to road cycling (a couple of years) and cycling for me is more about pleasure than performance. I’ve grown used to standard cleats but have still taken too many tumbles and just felt there had to be a better way. On my first ride I found both the Bythlon pedals and cleats very easy to fit and super easy to get used to. They have a sort of “sweet spot” that you’ll recognise when you feel it, which is when the pedal and cleat find their points of connection and “bond” with each other. Pedal and cleat are not locked together as such and it seems to me that it’s largely your foots momentum creating a kind of natural tension between the ridges on each that keeps them moulded. I believe it’s this same momentum-generated tension that keeps them connected on hills even as you pull up on the pedal.
They aren’t too bulky to walk in, and the added bonus is that the pedals are essentially flat which means you can switch between cycling and flat sole shoes very easily. All in all for someone like myself I think these are potentially going to inject even more fun into my cycling.

Collected my new long awaited for bike today and took in my box of Bythlon pedals/cleats to the cycle shop which were fitted for me. We chatted about why I was going to try this pedal system as like many I have fallen off on a few occasions and decided to return to dual sided Shimano pedals and MTB shoes. I can report the new pedals are fab, managed 26 miles and felt safe and secure, can highly recommend this system.
Paul (verified owner) –
Absolute delighted with the product and would highly recommend.
Feel so much more confident cycling nowadays.
Judith Tinsley –
Within 10 minutes of trying these off road I was back on the road, having struggled with the thought of “normal” cleats after a recent accident when riding with flat shoes. Bythlon proved the answer, I am a much happier cyclist. Been riding these for over 6 weeks and zero falls, anyone looking for an alternative or nervous I would highly recommend. Simple system, but gives all the benefits of placing your feet correctly when cycling and standing up when clipped in is a doddle.
Tracy whitford (verified owner) –
Been out with new bythlon cleats and they definitely helped me. I’ve tried mtb and road cleats and I’ve fallen off so many times completely knocking any confidence. I had even fractured my elbow last July falling off in clipped in cleats. so I needed something that would help. So today 38 miles done and feel more confident and even when I’m tired and stopping at a junction or going up hill I’m not panicking anywhere near I was before as my tired brain just couldn’t get the clipping and twisting. However I’m easily taking feet off the pedal and not turning into a panicking mess. These have made a big difference to my confidence and I would recommend giving them a try.

Took my first ride with these new Bythlon pedals and I love them already, a real game changer. The main thing is stepping in and out of these is a piece of cake.
I have recently had a Hip replacement and feel very nervous using my old cleats, but already confident enough with these to pull up at a T junction and balance, knowing I can step out in a split second without worrying about keeling over, previously I was unclipping half way down the road.
Now looking forward to covering many more relaxing miles, I would recommend these to anyone.
Ruth Drake –
I wanted the benefits of cleats but was nervous about falls, having seen a few friends have accidents! The Bythlon pedals have been the perfect compromise for me- more efficient pedalling without the worry.
Ms Clark –
New to road biking in 2020. Felt pressured to buy cleats but knew I just would not get on with them. I certainly felt just using flat pedals I was at a disadvantage. When I came across these I like many wasn’t sure how effective they would be. I am so pleased I brought them and have never looked back. Yes they may be more than most standard cleats but they are worth every penny. I feel more powerful and in control and love how easy it is to take your foot out when required. It has enhanced my road riding experience and I know I won’t ever need to use cleats. If you have any doubts check all the reviews, you won’t be disappointed.
Laura Van Zyl –
Not looked back since putting these on the bike – so easy to get feet in and out of the cleats. Highly recommend.
Claire FOXALL –
What a brilliant system and design! Thank you for taking all the fear out of cycling for me ! Absolutely love these and would recommend them to anyone.
Katherine –
Bought these in September. Great service. First ride using them I was so nervous as I have never used clips before. I needn’t have been. So easy to use and step out so easily. It has made a big difference to my performance on the bike and I can definitely get up hills quicker than before. Love my bythlons and highly recommend.
Ingrid Thorpe –
These pedals are great. It didn’t take much time at all to adapt and it’s great to be able to put your foot down when needed. If I don’t want to wear my cycling shoes the pedals are perfect for any shoe. Very glad I got them.
Edward Ng –
I love this pedal and cannot return to use clipness pedal. It gives me the same security while pedaling but reduce the risk that the foot cannot detach from the pedal. You will get more safety in riding.
Great design!
Kelvin Lucas –
I purchased the system and can say I have no regrets. I have had no problems pulling my foot out when I stop or when an emergency arises. Big A+ from me on quality and shipping. I recommend this system to anyone wanting to be clipped in but not locked in.
Danny –
I love them work great from day one. A great product.
V Fraser –
Was initially a bit sceptical about these pedals and they aren’t cheap. Having now tried them I’d say they are worth every penny simply for the peace of mind they offer that you can take your foot out easily, whatever position your foot is in! Plus, your foot is nice and secure on the pedal and won’t slip off, as with flat pedals. I did try cleats a few years ago. I had a few of the seemingly obligatory ‚ Del Boy sideways topples at first, but even afterwards found I was not enjoying my rides as was constantly worrying I’d have to unclip at short notice, and wouldn’t manage it in time. The other day I was cycling and came up to a short, steep hill. Didn’t change gear in time and came to a standstill, but could lift foot out no problem. Highly recommended!
Catrina Macrae –
Just finished a bike ride with my Bythlon pedals and cleats – absolutely love them. The cleats engage really easily and I felt secure and yet so easy to disengage. Hills were not a problem; I climbed 3000 ft and there wasn’t a lack of power. Prior to Bythlon pedals I was anxious about negotiating junctions and riding through traffic but I have new-found confidence. Thank you Martin and team for a fantastic product from a very happy cyclist.
Steph Gale –
These really do work! Perfect foot alignment and you can step off panic free every time. I feel vindicated for years of claiming you don’t need to be attached to your pedals to be a real cyclist
Marcus Higley –
“I have had the pedals for a few days and used them for about 50 miles with a mixture of off road and road use.
I think they are absolutely brilliant so much better climbing than flats and your feet don’t come off the pedals on rough terrain, yet so easy to pull out of when things go awry!! Would never go back to clipless. “
Jo Cornwell –
These are game changers!!! Im currently going through cancer treatment and my joints are painful from chemo. I have been struggling to clip in and twist out of my SPD pedals due to the discomfort. I can no longer clip in and out without a struggle. I saw these on Facebook and took a chance as the video looked convincing . They arrived just over a week after ordering which was amazing, I was expecting a longer wait. Good quality packaging I had my first ride in them today and Im in love with them! So easy to clip in and out, and there is absolutely no loss of power. I rode two 7% gradients today, and whilst my foot wiggled a little, I didnt detach from the pedal. Off the bike they feel bulkier than SPD cleats but thats not an issue at all. I was going to use them until I had regained some strength and got my pain management under control, then move back to SPDs but I honestly think I will leave these on permanently. These really are awesome and Im glad I took a chance on them!
Martin Slade –
I started cycling in London for commuting, but gradually got keener on doing longer rides. Serious cyclists said you’ll need cleats, as the next logical progression. I tried SPDs and promptly came a cropper falling over with wrong foot released at the traffic lights. I persevered but the next falling-over incident gave me a broken elbow. What with now wanting to carry my child on the back of a bike there was no way I could carry on risking life and limb for me or my daughter. So that was the end of that – until I saw the Bythlon product advertised. The power of cleats but able to get out without even thinking about it – I had to give that a go. What a game-changer! The pedals ooze quality, beautifully machined and sturdy. The cleats are easily screwed onto the underside of 3-hole cycling shoes. Set to go – and I’ve tried a few 50 mile rides and Zwift HC climbs with them now, and has made me I would estimate 10% faster than with ordinary pedals. Also I’m more comfortable, as feet are always in the right place. Getting out is a thought-free process. For cyclists who are used to clipping in and out then they probably cannot see the point, but if there are any other cyclists like me who’s brain does not seem to engage in time with unclipping then these are perfect. The Bythlon team were great to deal with as well, as they had to cope with corona-virus impact on distribution, but I was kept informed and got a discount too.
Chris D –
Really helped me to step up my game on the bike this year. Easy to fit and even easier to use, thanks!
David Goodey –
Received the pedals this morning fitted them to my bike and shoes in 10 minutes. Within 2 miles I was hooked. These pedals are definitely for me as I never did feel safe in full clip ins. It was a pleasure to cycle with a product that gave the feel of clip ins but the Luxury of being able just to step off. Would never go back.
Jane Bates –
Well where should I start ? Postage was amazing and they arrived only a few days after I purchased them. Great packaging and instructions. The pedals were easy to fit to my bike and the clipless cleat also was easy to fit to my cycling shoes… obviously I was worried at first as i have fallen previously with cleats… but today Sunday 9th August I did a massive ride in them 88.2km to be precise… I felt very comfortable at junctions as I could just lift my foot up and straight out.. they were fabulous on the hill climbs too ! A million percent I would recommend the Bythlon clipless system if youve been unsuccessful in using cleats these are the pedal for you !
