    I still have the old type toe clips on mine and like them just fine.

    After reading everyone's post on going clipless, I am afraid to do it. I am very clumbsy and pretty overweight right now. If I fall, it's not going to be pretty or feel very good, with all this weight coming down.

    DDH -- read all those posts, was terrified, probably not the most graceful overweight ballerina in the bunch (75-80 just gotta go) and I did it anyway!

    I had the clips on my old bike, knew the added efficiency of tying myself to the pedals somehow, but didn't want to do those clips on this one -- I don't like getting into/out of the cages.

    I dunno if I just think about what I'm doing on a regular basis, or what has made me successful so far, but no falls. I've decided that maybe it will still happen some day, but there's going to be less of me falling when it finally does! So far, I'm finding that I have one "clutzy" foot, and once it's in its clip, as long as I leave it there, everythign's good. Take it off the pedal, and I struggle with putting it back!
