Definition: Toe clips are an attachment on bicycle pedals that enclose to a degree the front part of a rider's shoe. Toe clips are designed to hold the foot more closely on the pedal and allow a rider to apply power to the pedals on the upstroke, and to drive the bike forward that way too and not just when pushing down on the pedal.
