Still Riding Clipless? Here’s What You’re Missing…
There’s a Better Way To Ride—And It Doesn’t Involve Being Clipped In
For years, the cycling industry has told us that clipless pedals are the only way to ride if you’re serious. Better power transfer, more control, improved efficiency… that’s the story we’ve all been sold.
But here’s the truth:
The main reason riders “feel” like clipless pedals work better is because they’re covering up bad design with a band-aid fix.
Traditional flat pedals are too small. They force your foot into an unstable position—right on the ball of your foot—which creates a host of problems:
• Foot pain and numb toes
• Knee irritation from unstable pressure points
• Reduced power because you’re not using your whole foot
So yeah… if that’s your only choice, clipping in feels better. But it’s not actually better. It’s just the lesser of two evils.
That’s why I created the Catalyst Pedal—a flat pedal that supports your entire foot from heel to ball, just like you’d expect when squatting, deadlifting, or lunging in the gym.
Because here’s the kicker:
You don’t push through the ball of your foot to lift weights—so why would you pedal that way on the bike?
The Catalyst Pedal mimics the stable, powerful foot position your body naturally uses for generating strength. It’s the only pedal that allows for true mid-foot pedaling with full support… and it doesn’t require you to clip in.
You get:
• More power thanks to better leverage and hip recruitment
• More stability with a lower center of gravity and full foot contact
• Less pain by eliminating hot spots and joint stress
And it works without being locked to your bike.
Thousands of riders—many in their 40s, 50s, and beyond—have made the switch and say they’ll never go back to clipless.
Here’s what one rider had to say:
“I’ve been riding clipless for over 20 years, but my feet and knees always hurt after long rides. I tried the Catalyst Pedals thinking they’d be a fun experiment… but now I’m hooked. No pain, better control, and I’m climbing stronger than ever. Wish I had found these years ago!”
