    Brand new to road cycling

    Hi Everyone!
    I am living in the Sammamish area and I just got my first road bike the other day. (I used to have a mountain bike when I was a kid through my teen years and have done other sports like the hurdles in track, xc, swim team, working out at the gym, etc.) I am a little overwhelmed right now as I fell 3 times with my new clipless pedals and scuffed up my brand new bike, oh yeah and I got a great crank ring tattoo as well. I know I am getting it down though because I practiced with my boyfriend running beside me in his parking lot for an hour just like when you're learning how to ride a bike and get off training wheels! Anyways, I just wanted to know if there is anything I can do make myself less intimidated by the clipless pedals, and just any advice on starting out in cycling.
    Thank you!
    Raquel
