How can I detach my shoes from a Peloton bike?

To detach your shoes from a Peloton bike, start by reducing the resistance to the lowest setting and carefully bringing the pedals to a stop. Once stationary, twist your heel away from the bike to unclip your shoe out of the pedal. For Look Delta or SPD-SL cleats typically used on Peloton bikes, this motion is similar to snapping something to the side—push your heel outward. If your shoe remains firmly attached after attempting to twist out, check if the tension on the pedal is too tight. Some pedals come with an adjustable tension screw that can be loosened with an Allen key. Adjust it as needed and try again. Always ensure you twist your foot firmly and confidently to disconnect the cleat from the pedal's locking mechanism. If you're new to clipless pedals, practice clipping in and out while off the bike to get familiar with the necessary motion.
