I rode clipless for the first time this weekend. And man, is it great once you get going. When I was riding with my platforms before I got the clips, I would vizualize twisting my foot and clipping out at stops. I did this for the whole time I was riding with platform pedals (about a month or so). So when I did get clipless, the motion of getting out of the clips was almost second nature. I didn't have one fall on my first ride or even a scary wobble.

Getting in the clips was another story. I'm still having to look down to engage my foot about 1/2 the time. I am hoping that the clipping in becomes second nature soon. It was rather nerve wracking with one clipped in foot and one clipped out foot trying to make it across intersections. Most of the time I gave up and made it through the intersection, then looked down to be able to clip in.

I'm not worried about falling because I can't clip out, but I am worried about eating it in the middle of the intersection because I can't get clipped in and I freak out.
