Hi Everybody! So I am sort of between two fires now. I am really new at riding, but I do know that i am learing to love this sport. I been out on the road only 2 times now, and I am using regular platform pedals on my road bike. However, after reading this forum I learned that many of you started biking using clipless pedals right away. I will be honest, I am scared to think about using them now, but I know once I am better I will be more comfortable with the idea of being attached to the bike. My boyfriend tells me that it will be a good idea to try pedals with straps first and then switch to clipless. GIRLS i need your advice, what should I do????
