Jeff Lenosky’s top tips for riding flat pedals
Learning to ride flat pedals is a skill every mountain biker looking to ride technical terrain should practice. I learned the skill early on through trials riding, but when I mountain bike I prefer to clip in. The most common question I receive on my YouTube channel is whether or not I could do these moves without clips. I always tell people you could ride either, but I wasn’t practicing what I preached. I decided to put my money where my mouth is and ride a technical trail with a variety of moves on flat pedals. Ride along with me while I give you my top tips for riding flat pedals. I’ll give you tips on foot position, gear choice, saddle height, and using your upper body to control the bike.
