If participants are using sneakers or trainers for class, you should:
  1. Advise them to get cycling specific shoes as soon as possible.
  2. Make sure they are in good condition and will protect their feet.
  3. Suggest they use insoles or supports to balance their foot on the pedal.
  4. Ensure laces are safely tucked away or taped down.
Explanation
Answer: D- If participants are using sneakers or trainers for class, you should ensure laces are safely tucked away or taped down. The flywheel of spinning bikes is very heavy and difficult to slow down. If laces become entangles in the pedal or flywheel housing, it can cause serious injuries. While normal gym shoes or trainers are satisfactory for spin classes, laces should be tucked inside the shoe or taped down for safety.
