Congrats DDH on going clipless - Melstar you can do it. I just started about three weeks ago and won't ride now unless I'm clipped in. The hills are so much easier being clipped in.

I haven't fallen yet either and hope not to - at least not because I forget to unclip. I do unclip my left foot well in advance of every upcoming known stop and that seems to work well when Im in heavy traffic, stop lights, etc. If I do it enough hopefully it will become habitual.

Am getting a new Volpe this coming week and will definitly have clipless pedals put on before it leaves the shop.
