Well all I finally did it, I got my clipless pedals put on and went for a ride tonight. I did fine, had no trouble getting unclipped but had some trouble getting in the first time. It seems to take a little more thought on getting in then I was thinking it would. Oh by the way they are speedplay x series. I love them, it was weird to stand and pedal and be able to move my feet around so much on the pedals. Although I suggest to anyone else going clipless for the first time, don't learn at night and on a road unless you have good balance. But I was desparate. I'm going to do a century tomorrow.
