What is the difference between 2 bolt and 3 bolt cycling shoes?

3 bolts simply means that the shoe is setup with three holes in formation to bolt or screw the cleat into the shoe. 2 bolts means there are two aligned holes (but when you look at the shoe, there will be multiple positioning options for the cleat, so you will see a few pairs of holes).

How do 2 hole cleats work?

SPD / 2-hole refers to a type of clip-in pedal system. Clip-in pedals are traditionally known as clipless pedals. Clip-in pedals are used with cycling shoes that have cleats attached to their soles. You clip the cleat into the pedal so that your shoe is connected to the pedal while you’re pedaling.

Can I use MTB cleats on road bikes?
