Die wichtigste Charakteristik eines Padels für den Fixed Gear Einsatz ist eine gute Bodenfreiheit. Zudem sollte man Pedale wählen, in die man schnell ein- und aussteigen kann, weil beide Vorgänge bei sich bewegenden Pedalen durchaus etwas komplizierter sind.


The most important characteristic to look for in choosing pedals for a fixed-gear bike is good ground clearance. You should also choose pedals that are easy to get in and out of, because both operations are somewhat complicated by the motion of the pedals.
Im Allgemeinen empfahl Sheldon Brown das System einzusetzen, das man bereits gewöhnt ist. Es ist auch so schon eine Herausforderung, Fixed Gear Fahren zu beherrschen, als dass man sich gleichzeitig an ein neues Pedalsystem gewöhnen wollte.


Generally, I recommend using whatever pedal/shoe system you are most used to. Getting used to fixed-gear riding is challenge enough without also trying to get used to a new pedal system at the same time!


When I used to use toe-clips and straps, I fit two toe straps to each pedal, partly because they help keep my feet in better alignment (since I don't use cleats) and partly for safety. Toe straps can get highly stressed on a fixed-gear bicycle, and if they break, unpleasant consequences may ensue.

Because there is no coasting, getting a foot into a toe clip when starting is more difficult than on a freewheeling bicycle, and tightening or loosening a toe strap is devilishly difficult. This doesn't matter to a track racer, who is held up by a coach or other helper -- the "starter" -- at the start of a race. It does matter when using a fixed-gear bicycle on the road. For this reason, clip-in pedals and cleated shoes are preferable. Be comfortable with your chosen shoe and pedal system on a freewheeling bicycle before taking up fixed-gear riding.

Sometimes, novice fixed-gear riders will try to use plain pedals with no form of retention system. I strongly advise against this. Riding fixed with plain pedals is an advanced fixed-gear skill, only recommended for experienced fixed-gear riders.

Manche Neuling wird versuchen, ohne jegliches Rückhaltesystem mit einfachen Pedalen zu fahren. Sheldon Brown riet stark davon ab. Auf einfachen Pedalen Fixed Gear zu fahren ist eine fortschrittliche Fähigkeit und ist nur für sehr erfahrene Fixed Gear Fahrer empfehlenswert.
