Hello All!
I'm relatively new to MTB'ing and have only been out properly once, up in the peaks! Whilst I was out I did have to put my feet down a fair bit and also had to get off the bike in one section to walk down, but to be fair so did one of the lads who has been doing this for a while, rock was too steep and too wet, the guy who went down took a nice tumble off the edge, lucky for him a gorse bush saved him and his bike haha
Sorry to stray off, yeah if I wear clipless will that mean more falls with the bike on top of me, or will if force me to get better and just cycle on? I have used clipless on the road and they do generate more power and I find them more comfortable for feet position, just concerned that out on the hills I might bite off more than I can chew with them?
