I got a big from a friend that had SPD pedals, so I, clueless newbie, went to the LBS looking for shoes. The guy was really helpful and convinced me that clipless was the way to go, so I did. A couple weeks later I went back for something else and his first question was, "So how many times did you fall?" We both laughed hysterically, and I felt tons better for *only* falling twice (so far).
