I've Done It!!!!!! :-)

[punkypossum]

Gone clipless that is! LBS put the pedals on for me, then had to cycle it back 3.5miles home with every light on red, so lots of stops and starts...

It's EASY!!!! (might regret saying this, but hey... )

So much easier than I thought, although it does feel a bit weird...will have to test how comfy it is on a longer ride, but so far, I'm very, very, very impressed with myself!!!

And they promised me I would get those stringy cyclists calves within a month - even better!!!!

 

[Dayvo]

Well done! See, it's as easy as falling off a, er, horse!

You will let us know when you forget to unclip at red lights for the first time, won't you?

 

[domtyler]

Take some advice, always leave it right 'til the very last moment to unclip.

Don't forget to use the otherwise wasted time at red lights to practise your track stands.

Don't forget to use the otherwise wasted time at red lights to practise your track stands.

Or picking yourself up without drawing too much more attention to yourself!

About bloody time.........

And now you wonder what all the fuss was about...

 

[Downward]

Which ones did you get or does it not make a difference ?
There is an offer for Shimano's with Shoes for about £45 somewhere online.

 

[HJ]

Well done punkypossum It good isn't...

Downward unless you are a hard core roadie, you are best off with ordinary SPDs, there are plenty of shoes in a range of different styles (and prices) to choose from. It is best if can try them on before you, personally I find Shimano shoes rather narrow for my feet...

Well Done Punky ... i have'nt plucked up the courage to have a go yet

Cycling Plus have got a test on the comfiest on/off bike SPD's this month

[Cathryn]

I haven't risked it yet either...well done PP...impressed with your bravery!

 

[Shaun]

... and you can guarantee that when you've left it until the absolute last milisecond to unclip at the red light ... it'll turn green ...

The best way to get the lights to change is to put your foot down

Bunny Hops will be a lot easier now PP
