The Ultimate Guide to Biking to Work—in Heels

April 24th, 2014 • BY WM

Do you bike to work? Cycle to dates? Pedal to meetings? If so, would you dare to don heels for your ride?

Be not afraid to arrive with some style—in shoes with a bit of a lift. Here, our friends at Eleanor’s Stylish Bicycle Accessories dig into the subject to offer up “The Ultimate Guide to Biking in High Heels,” a how-to on how to spin on those spikes (or platforms or wedges or stacked heels) with ease.

While commuting to work sometimes people on the street ask, “How do you ride your bike in high heels?” Well, that is a good question and my answer is “Because it’s easier than walking in them.” All laughs aside, don’t be afraid of riding in heels! It can be done! To help you, we pulled together the ultimate guide to riding a bike in high heels.

1. Select Your Heels-Always make sure your heels compliment your outfit or at least your bike. Ok, that was more of a fashion tip instead of riding tip.

2. Pick a high heel style that fits snug on your feet-You don’t want your heels to fall off while you are pedaling by that cute boy. Mary Janes always look good and the strap helps your heel to stay on your feet. Need some inspiration? We are loving all the mary jane styles that Modcloth are offering for Spring.

3. Tall wedges are a great alternative to high heels-If you are looking for the same benefits that heels can give you, then you might want to consider wedge sandal. Wedge shoes also give a boost in height without compromising comfort. Also, I personally think that wedges are easier to ride in since you don’t have to worry about a spiky heel getting caught in the pedal.

4. Ride slower-We all know you are a speed demon on your bike but if you are riding in heels for the first time, than ride a little slower until you are more confident. In major traffic, it’s ok to step off your bike and walk until there is a clearer path.

5. Adjust your saddle height-You want to have the bicycle seat set to a height that allows your leg to extend until it is almost completely straight when you are sitting on the seat. If your platform heels are giving you major height, than take a couple of minutes to raise your bike seat. This will make you ride more comfortable so you can focus on that pedestrian stepping out in the bike lane ahead.
