Can you spot the difference between these photos?
In the top photo, I am “cheating” by pulling up with my feet. In the bottom photo, my feet are level with the ground. I am firmly connected the the bike in a way I never have been before and that has really boosted my riding confidence. “Heavy feet, light hands” has taken on a whole new level of understanding for me this year.
The first photo was taken in the spring of 2018, the second one was taken a week ago, which is 2.5 years later. The biggest difference? My feet!

I switched to flat pedals just a few months ago. In addition to increasing my riding confidence, I have been forced to practice my dynamic skills (such as jumps and drops) with the proper technique. “Heavy feet, light hands” has taken on a whole new level of understanding for me this year. For more information about flat pedals, take a look at this video I made and see if you are ready to make the switch!
