Clipless Pedal System
What is a clipless pedal system?
The clipless pedal system is composed of 2 modules - the pedals and the cleats. This makes it possible to lock the foot to the pedals, making it possible to make a upward pull during a pedal cycle.

Entry Level Road Bikes
Shopping for a new bike frame is quite exhausting due to a lot of factors such as brand preference, model availability, material, sizing most importantly price point. There are also indirect factors involved in this, such as the following: Is the bike available in your preferred LBS? Does it come in frame only or whole bike? Does it come in my preferred colorway?
Some of the manufacturers have already implemented internal cabling on their entry level bikes, this may affect your choice especially if you prefer your bike to look really clean.
Bicycle Maintenance Checklist
Regular and proper bicycle maintenance prolongs its lifespan, ensures optimum performance and prevent any untoward incidents. Regularly having your bicycle serviced by an experienced or even licensed mechanic is the best way to do this.
