1st ride clipped in

[skinnydog1973]

well today i went out for only my second ever ride but decided to put on my new pedals and shoes and clip in, i must admit i felt it was so much better and i felt really comfortable with them, ( hope i dont speak too soon) i did 9 miles but felt i could have done a lot more but it was starting to get dark,this was the first time that i have been on the main roads and again it didnt seem as bad as i thought, i now just cant wait till tomorrow so i can get back out lol

Nice one. I too was over the moon when I first went clipless. Hope you have a "clipless moment" somewhere quiet, we all have them. I had two in the first month, the first on a quiet lane, the second in front of a crowded bar

Well done.
Just don't think about it too much. It soon becomes second nature.

I've been 'clipping in' via SPD for nearly two months now and I really like the connected feel. I still occasionally have to remind myself to unclip ahead of halts, but it is becoming second nature, as the Blue Messiah tells us.

Very good. No stopping you now.
Enjoy

Well done. I'm not as brave, I have not plucked up the courage yet this week, mainly because of the dark, I hope to get out this weekend in the day light. I have them on and did some practice clipping in and out but only in the garage.

The light nights are on their way, it was light here at 5pm tonight.
