Question about exercise bikes

[Teaching3bears]

I am thinking of buying one.  I notice that most nowadays have straps that go over your foot on the pedals.  When you are assembling the bike, do you have to put those on the pedals or are they pre-attached?

I had to attach them to my bike when assembling--they were beyond easy to put on. FWIW,  I've been exercising without straps for a long time after one of my teens busted mine.

thanks, but now i see i didn't write my post clearly.  I don't want those things on the pedals.  Are they separate or pre-attached?

My pedals came entirely preassembled.

The two different ones we had, they came unattached.

The ones on my bike were separate and not pre-attached. I don't have them on my bike. I imagine you could find out for sure that yours will be detachable (or unattached) before you buy the bike.
