Over the years, we’ve done a few tests comparing flat and clipless pedals - the two main options for road cyclists. Many roadies live by the superiority of clipless, but have we been getting it all wrong? With dedicated flat cycling shoes and grippy pedals, flats can be a realistic option. Conor & Hank compare them on a hill climb, a 5km TT and a sprint, to see which are actually faster!
