I have been practising backward circles with regular unclipped pedals, and can now do half a backward circle. However, when the pedals hit 6/12 oclock, I lose balance due to no pedal drive.
I am not confident enough doing this trick with my SPD pedals/shoes. Do I need clipped pedals with straps? Or can it be done wih regular pedals by angling the pedal stroke by standing and leaning forwards?
