After a couple of clipless moments I decided to use the flat side of my double sided pedals with trainers when going across town in traffic.
Just did 8 mile each way trip into Cardiff ,lots of traffic etc I found it much more relaxed without the clips.Im sure it didnt make any appreciable difference to my speed as was slowing for traffic most of the time anyway my feet didnt slip much on the A530 pedals.
At the moment despite me making a joke about clipless moments I am a little nervous using them on busy roads.
Should I just persevere until they are second nature or keep the road shoes for spins out in the country?Or even just use flat pedals all the time,Im not interested in breaking any speed records ,I bought the Speedster as a fast light bike for enjoyable day out in the country type rides which its going to be great for.I certainly felt more relaxed today.
