I don't know that there's any one right answer to this. I know plenty of people who waited to try clipless until they were more experienced on their bikes. I know people who don't use clipless at all. And then there are those, like me, who started using them right away. I like using them, personally, and didn't find them that hard to learn how to use. I use Look Keos by the way.

Give it a shot. The worst that happens is that you take them off and try them some other time.
