Another newbie question:
What do y'all mean by 'float'? Is it an up-and-down movement or side-to-side?

Here's an weird question - would it be totally wacky to put Speedplays on my stationary bike to start getting used to how they feel and practice clipping in and out? I'm thinking that I need to get a pair (the Speedplays are looking ideal) but I'm scared of falling. My boyfriend is incredibly experienced, and I want to start keeping up with him.
