Now done a few years on clippy pedals. First used them in New Zealand when we lived there for a year. Pulled up at traffic lights beside black Subaru impreza with four huge tattooed maori's in, and the windows down, with boom box going full belt. Promptly fell over.

I was somewhat surprised when they all jumped out asking if I was ok and helped me up. Truly concerned and helpful. Could have gone so differently

The first junction/traffic lights you come to, and i bet your wondering how i know

Nah .. your still thinking about clipping in and out then

It'l be when you think you've cracked going clipless that you have your first "Moment"

My first "Moment" was in a quiet country lane with no-one around to laugh at me but my second was again in a quiet country lane but i was on a Cycle Chat Forum ride

Snap......... ive not long bought the exact same combo.

I found the shoes really light and comfortable and i did keep the cleats quiet loose for the first couple of rides until i got into the unclip every stop habit.

really pleased with them though hope you enjoy wearing them as much as i do.

Cool! Yes, I've got the cleats as nearly loose as the indicator shows, until I get used to them.
