Explanation
Answer: D - When advising participants on choosing cycling specific footwear for spin class, be sure to emphasize that the cleats must be compatible with the cleat type in the spin bikes in class. Check the cleat type of the bike pedals in the spin class before advising on a cycling specific shoe/cleat combination. Spin bike pedals are usually compatible with Look road style cleats or SPD mountain bike style cleats. Spin classes will also have pedals that will accommodate a normal athletic or running shoe although cleat fittings are more effective.
