Are the pedals or stride adjustable. If no--what is the set distance?

No the pedals and stride are not adjustable. The distance of the stride is between 18 or 20.

Yes, the SPD will work. Also, the pedals do come with their own cleats as well.

Generally these pedals can be adjusted by loosening the tension screw and slowly letting out some additional length. Make sure you tighten the screw securely.

Hi, Madeline. Hope it's not too late to help. I got the Active 20 and the seat adjustment is the same as a higher-end Schwinn that my friend has. They both adjust forward and backward only, but the seats slide at a downward, somewhat shallow angle. So there's no true 'vertical' adjustment--but a slight vertical change when you slide it backwards and forwards. It may provide little consolation, but the nature of recumbent bicycles means that your height in relation to the ground becomes somewhat irrelevant, as the most important rule to follow is the distance between your hips and the pedals. As long as you're not hyper-extending your knees (legs entirely outstretched when your foot is on the pedal farthest away from you), bicycle manufacturers think that the location of the pedals isn't important, as long as they're not above your heart. I'm sorry if I couldn't help you. One more thing, it's also bad to have your legs so cramped that your pedaling brings your knees close to your chest.

Yes with these pedals you can wear street shoes or spd cleats. I agree w/ the other person that if you're concerned about weight then these are wrong for you.

Hi. I'm 5'6" and adjusted the seat to its highest setting for your question. I can still reach the pedals but it is a stretch for me. Hope that helps.

Short people (I'm borderline - 5'5", but I have short legs) should pay attention to the "Q factor." That's how far apart the pedals are. Although the separation of the feet is the same for both long-and short-legged people, the short legged person will be using his or her leg muscles at a more awkward spread-out angle.

My 5'3" client is reaaaallly at her limit with the bikes lowest seat position so that may be a struggle. The pedals are threaded so should be interchangeable to switch out for spin shoes though

It depends upon how short the user is. I would say that anyone under five feet or so (I'm 5'10") would need a shorter setting than is available on the machine. The storage setting is a possibility, as my girlfriend's stepson is able to use it, albeit all scrunched up, on that setting; he's about 4'6". The pedals *do* go backwards, but I don't know if the speedometer/odometer work properly. The tensioner works in either direction.

I have a question - Im shorter than all of you at 4'9". I recently spent an evening putting together a reclining bike only to find my feet went nowhere near the pedals even on the lowest setting! Reluctant to buy another one.. Any ideas?

No, you have to purchase new pedals if you want to use cycle shoes. I installed them easily and really like using the cycle shoes. I think you get a better workout. Just remember the threads may be reversed.

The inner edge of the pedals are 6 inches apart. It's a very comfortable stance as if walking. Hope this helps!

Short answer, "No." Longer answer, that's really more a function of the pedal and how you've adjusted it, than of the cleats themselves. I bought some cheap Wellgo commuter pedals whiich I use with these cleats, and was generally pleased, but had a couple of unwanted releases at the default setting, I tightened the pedal one turn, and am quite satisfied with the release tension. Your mileage may vary, but it's the pedal, not the cleat, that will define the release characteristics.

Yvonne there is a knob underneath the seat to adjust the seat distance for leg length! Love my bike! Kathy S.

No they are not adjustable, but this stroller is so nice, I would recommend it for any heighth.

About 15"-17" if your feet are at the front of the pedals. No higher than 21" depending on where you prefer to put your feet on the pedals. The measurement ranges reflect different incline levels that can be manually adjusted.

Max height doesn't matter; mid-range height does. In other words, you want to know the height of the pedals when they are equal. If you know this then add it to your height and that is how high your head will be at the highest point of your stride (which is when your feet are level). If your ceiling is lower than that number, then it will not work for you.
