clipless for scaredy cats?

[Trekhawk]

Hi Ladies!!

I want to balance safety and speed, erring on the side of safety when in doubt. My LBS suggested I try mountain bike clipless pedals because they're easier to get out of in contrast with road bikes. Is this true? Is that advisable for performance? Are there any brands/models you ladies recommend?

thanks for helping me get over this fear!!! I know many of you have successfuly overcome it yourselves

I love road shoes. I have road shoes for my road bike and mountain shoes for my moutain bike. My pedals for both are made by Crank Brothers and both are just as easy to clip in and out of. For mountain biking I have egg beaters and for road I have Quattros basically an egg beater with a nice size platform around it.

Once you have gone clipless you wont look back.

Happy pedal/shoe hunting.
