This thread is great...thanks for posting it!

Years ago I had SPDs on a mountain bike that I used more as a zip around town ride. I didn't ride all that much before getting knocked-up and stopping for the better part of a decade.

When I first started using the pedals I had DH leave them pretty loose, so it was easy to clip in and out. Eventually I found that they needed to be tightened just a little bit to keep my feet from releasing at random.

He claims he only adjusted them by maybe a half turn...but I came to a complete stop at a stop sign and couldn't get my feet out of the pedals to save my life. As I was going down in slow-motion I was laughing and saying "oh sh*t oh sh*t oh sh*t." Only my pride was hurt.

I have SPDs again (as I'm using MTN shoes), but I'm going to adjust my own pedals, now. I don't trust my goofy hubby to not punk me for a good laugh, again.
