That's fantastic!

After trying Time pedals around the neighborhood about a year ago—and falling several times—she shelved the idea of clipless. Recently she got the fire in her belly to give it another go and bought some Crank Bros. Acid pedals, which wouldn't have been my first choice for a newbie given my longish Quattro break-in period, but she's of independent spirit.

This time she tried them on my trainer. After much frustrated effort and consternation on her part, I suggested she try my Looks or my Eggbeaters. I don't know what she has against Looks—I found them a dream to adapt to—but she opted for the Eggbeaters and practiced entries and exits while watching the TdF preview on Vs. for motivation. Let's just say she isn't sold yet, so Frogs or SPDs certainly seem worth investigation, especially since each offer some platform versatility.
