    pedaldabs come in two sizes for the pedal brands and similar types below

       SPD(R)/Crank Brothers(R)/Speedplay(R)*/TIME(R)*         SPD-SL(R)/LOOK(R)

    pedaldabs use the replacement cleats available for your setup (sold separately)

    *for these types select the "roadie" option so that you still receive the smooth insert

    How do pedaldabs work? Glad you ask.

    pedaldabs won't come off if you twist your foot.pedaldabs release easily for switching back to clipless shoes.

    pedaldabs always put the tread up.

    use pedaldabs to:

    • ride to lunch and avoid comments about dorky footwear... Score.
    • take a short ride with your family without swapping shoes or pedals.
    • head into town after a long day on the bike trip.
    • ride after dark since 'dabs have the reflectors that most clipless don't.
    • get an introduction to clipless without forfeiting your familiar platforms.
    • let friends use the bike without forcing them to wear your shoes...

    Preordering your set of pedaldabs:

    We've patented our design, gotten quotes from producers, met with our (local!) fulfillment facility, designed our packaging, and done the math--we need $25,000 in preorders and support to make the injection molds for pedaldabs and start production.

    Timeline

    Look for bikedabs products (pedaldabs in particular!) to be availble to bike shops nationwide by mid August.  To start, our website (bikedabs.com) will ship direct to riders as well as wholesale to bike shops.  We would like to get into one of the main bike catalogs later this year to be included in the printing of 2013 catalogs!

    We're also planning to exhibit at Interbike, one of the largest (and coolest) bicycle trade shows in September.  Come see us in 'Vegas!  interbike.com for more info.

    What are clipless pedals and why do riders use them?

    • Riders secure their feet to clipless pedals with specially designed shoes and cleats.
    • Clipless setups allow riders to pedal up to 30% more efficiently.  
    • Over 475,000 of these setups are sold by bike shops each year.  

    The downside?

    • Clipless pedals don't have platforms or tread for normal shoes.  
    • Riding on clipless pedals with regular street shoes is inconvenient and unsafe.

    After pedaldabs

    The story continues! The cycling community is vibrant and creative.  We have the capability to fulfill unique needs in the cycling world, and also help riders develop their ideas.  

    We've already received several ideas from riders for viable new products, and we weren't even asking for them yet!  Our "Ideas in Gear" initiative is about capturing great ideas and turning them into products.

    Who knows what cool new "dabs of innovation" will follow the pedaldab?! 

    Find out with us!  And Thank You for your enthusiasm and support!  This is all possible with your help.  Let's ride sometime _k
