I bought clipless pedals and shoes today. I toyed with the idea of buying Sidis for a bit, but I'm a bit on the broke side. (One day, perhaps.) I wound up buying some cheaper Specialized MTB shoes and M540 pedals. I also thought about buying the Keen sandals (since I have the non-cycling version of it and live in it between March and November), but these were cheaper and means I wouldn't have to buy a second pair of shoes for October onwards. And BF hasn't disowned me for not buying Sidis or for putting SPD pedals on a road bike.
I tried clipping in and out, and apparently I have the opposite problem everyone else does: Getting out is intuitive. Getting in is not.
Any tips for that first clipless ride? I should add that I'm going straight from platforms.
