I have been using a turbo trainer this past six weeks too for the record :cycle:

Like Scoosh (ie;)) I also need any advantage, due to the fact I am fortunate to be an old person mature in my years :tongue:

Scoosh (ie;)) there were no clipless moments yesterday, but it was a good test, every flipping traffic light turned red for me, including the pedestrian crossings, god help me I am sure they knew I was new to clips :laugh:

Just think of them like the clutch on your car. As you come to a halt think "put the clutch in" ie unclip...........just leave plenty time to do it:smile:

I had my 1st clipless moment for over a year couple of days ago. Came out my house clipped in and pulled away, only to have to stop immediately for a car going to my neighbours house (we live on a single track road).

Wobbled, thought "Oh Bugger" and gracefully fell over.

No damage done. Hopefully thats it for the year:smile:

Yup, that is the other essential of a clipless moment :biggrin:.

As is laughing when lying helpless :ohmy:

One thing I would really like to see - for the ultimate in cool :biggrin: - is someone getting back up again, WITHOUT UNCLIPPING :laugh:
