newbie question about pedals for indoor bike
I have just bought an indoor bike, pooboo LD-582. I am very satisfied, so far
I do enjoy spinning and I have bike shoes that clic in/out.
Unfortunately, the pedals that this bike has are the regular ones.
can you recommend pedals that I can use with my shoes?
How simple is to replace pedals?
thanks in advance!

There are three considerations:
1. What kind of pedal are your shoes designed for?
2. Will you trainer accept standard pedals?
3. What is your budget?
Without knowing the answers we cannot possibly make a recommendation.

I do not have a trainer. I am just learning with this forum about the different trainers..fascinating! however, my idea is to do some spinning classes probably via peloton?
I have just bougth a spinning bike pooboo ld-582. This bike comes with the regular pedal
I have shimano shoes, with Shimano SH-56 Multi-Directional Release SPD Cleats.
I would say $150-200
thanks in advance!

so just match the pedals from your outdoor bike to the indoor , if you dont want to have to change cleats ( the things that click in and out ) then you need to match them !

most spin bikes will allow you to replace the stock pedals (spindle and all) and allow you to attach bike pedals to the spin bike cranks.
so really depends on preference.

If you have been doing indoor spin classes, most spin bikes use SPD type pedals. You can buy a set of those and put on your new bike - an example are the Shimano M520 pedals here.
But, you can find other SPD pedals (not SPD-SL) that may be cheaper, or you can buy dual sided pedals (like these) so you could use your bike with sneakers or with those SPD shoes you have been using in spin classes.

Assuming your trainer takes standard 9/16 pedal threads, you can just unscrew the stock pedals and screw on whatever pedals you want. You might need a pedal wrench to do this, or at least a very long crescent wrench. There are Youtube videos showing how to do it, and be aware that one side will be right-hand threaded, and the other left-hand threaded.
As for type of pedals, you can get any SPD compatible pedal. Something like a Shimano M520 is fairly cheap and tough, and will serve you well for years to come: https://www.rei.com/product/705311/s...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

I agree with just getting a set of Shimano M520 pedals. They’re inexpensive and bombproof. They’ll outlast the bike.
