Nothing to worry about

[DLB]

Just gone clipless

Not fallen over yet

And fastest commute ever this morning

Just thought i'd tell people

Welcome to the club

Well done. Great isn't it? One of those classic 'oh, so *this* is what they've been on about' experiences.

Happy riding.

Yeh, i feel like a REAL cyclist now.

Can't believe how easy it is (i was really worried about falling over)

The're pretty darned tootin aren't they? Apart from the odd "clipless" moment. Which I haven't had for a while yet. My Shimano shoes have only got 2 velcro straps on them - i've noticed a lot of shoes have three straps - does that give any advantage?

Mine have three, but I only ever use two of them. Does that answer your question?

Well done, DLB.
As you get used to them, that's when complacency creeps in. That's when you will be vulnerable to your first clipless moment...hopefully not, though!

it'll come, give it time, it'll come

 

[DLB]

it'll come, give it time, it'll come

i certainly hope not

 

[swee'pea99]

Oh it will for sure. That's when you'll know you really *are* 'a REAL cyclist'. :-)

 

[walker]

i certainly hope not

it may not be today, it may not be next week, or even this year, but it will.

 

[DLB]

it may not be today, it may not be next week, or even this year, but it will.

Again, i hope not, but, i guess, with all likelyhood, and taking all things into consideration, you are probably correct.

My first clipless moment was when i was too cocky, thinking i was really good. I'd been clipless for about 2 weeks when it happened.
If it does happen, remember to laugh and smile Its funny really when you think about it, but bloody embarrising at the time

My Dad was sitting at a pavement table outside a Soho bar one warm summer's evening, when a deep rumble announced the imminent arrival of a colleague on his brand new Harley Davidson. Up he thundered, all leather and Ray-Bans, before stopping outside at the kerb and...getting his trousers tangled in the gear lever, with predictable and - to my Dad and his many colleagues in the bar - delightful consequences.

welcome to the clipless world.
I have now found that whenever I ride a bike with normal flat pedals.... it feels a right pain.. and much harder work
