Yes, finding the right side gets easier. Thanks to sister Trek420's coaching, I do NOT look down to find the connection. I flip the pedal with my toe if I need to, sometimes multiple times, line my foot up and slide it in. Click. No look. And I don't stress out about clipping in, because I also practice riding with one or both feet free for a few yards til I'm in the flow and out of the intersection I clipped out for. I think maybe this friend who has her head down focused on the pedals has not had the friendly-but-strict coach I had who got me over that (thanks, sis!). Now she needs to break the habit. I'm now fine with the reversible pedals. I still envision needing them (once my bike finally gets here), f'rinstance for days when I ride out to the woods wearing hiking boots.
