I've been in a discussion over at MTBR on the wisdom of using clipless pedals at the Clinic in June. The advice I received was to not do it but to use platforms instead.

The only reason I am considering using clipless is that I don't come out of the saddle when I am road riding - and I think that I would be a lot more confident in learning how to do this in the Clinic if I am attached to my bike. My fitter adjusts my clipless pedals to a very, very light tension - so light that I don't fall over even when I forget that I am clipped in - it takes the tiniest amount of effort to get out of those pedals.

Then again, if I fall over multiple times because of the pedals - that won't exactly be good for my confidence either - though I fully expect and prepared to fall over a lot in the clinic since I will be learning totally new skills

Any thoughts about this from the wonderful mountain biking women of TE? Would YOU go to an introductory mountain bike clinic with clipless pedals?
