I tried clipless pedals on Saturday
... and broke my wrist :rolleyes:
They did feel good, and I was doing very well, clipping in and out with ease. Fortunately, we were only in our local park.. I spotted a pinecone (I collect them from places/times I want to remember). stopped (almost an emergency stop according to my DH :eek: ), couldn't unclip quickly enough and down I went, making the classic mistake of putting my hand out to save me :o
Now I can't ride at all :( Well, not for a little while anyway :D
No more broken parts....starting NOW!
That one was the last one, no more broken body parts for a while ok gang?!!!!
The quarterly qouta has been met and then some.
Go back to enjoying your cycling without the ouchees.
One foot in and one foot out

I just find the whole idea fascinating, though it doesn't appeal to me to try. i think I'd confuse myself.
Yeah, I think it would confuse me too but my sister really prefers it. The only time she has one in and one out is when she's going really slow and thinks she may have to stop. The rest of the time she clips in both feet and they work just like regular clipless pedals.
