Shimano Pedaling Dynamics, commonly called SPD, is a design of clipless bicycle pedals and associated cleats first released by Shimano in 1990. [1] [2] The first model, PD-M737, was aimed at mountain biking enthusiasts who, prior to this, had to use toe clips and straps or "road" clipless pedals which clogged with mud and made walking very difficult in unrideable situations.
Clipless pedals can have advantages over flat ones, [6] [7] especially in mountain biking and racing. They keep the foot from slipping in wet and muddy conditions and provide better transfer of power. Clipless pedal platform adapters are innovative devices designed to convert regular platform pedals into a temporary clipless pedal system.
Modern cycling shoes are designed to work with clipless pedal systems. Such systems temporarily connect the shoe to the pedal in a manner similar to a ski binding system. The aim is maximal efficiency of power-transfer, using a cleat on the sole of each shoe and a matched fitting on the pedal.
