nope. who knows. Everyone in my family uses the SPD's and they are all doing okay, i am just a timid slow learner.
PT as in physical therapist? I am curious why. Mine told me I had to have something with a lot of float, like the frog. I would get hot foot and knee pain with spds. BUT, if you are committed to them then yes, be very sure they are set with the loosest tension. Which style do you have? I started with the type that are flat on one side and clipped on the other. That way you can clip out as you anticipate a traffic stop, and just pedal normally until the stop, etc. You can also start with one side clipped in, then both. However, I absolutely love my frogs, so you may want to ask you PT why he/she didn't think they are a good idea for you.

BUT THAT'S GREAT THAT YOU ARE STARTING TO USE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!
