Demonstrated by ICG's official foot model, Mike Michels.
File this in the; “why didn't I think of that?” folder. Stretching is a part of every class we teach. Many of us try to perform a calf stretch by placing each foot on the cycle's support frame, with varying success. It works OK with fitness shoes, but many road cycling shoes (with exposed cleats) tend to slide off the smooth, painted surface.
ICG's new IC7 Indoor Cycle features an addition to the support cross frame that's specifically designed for you and your athletes to place their feet. Special cutout catches a SPD cleat = a safe, effective stretch.
