very cool! yep, you can gain speed from going clipless, as you begin to utilize your muscle groups more efficiently... and also that stem change probably helped too! being in a better/more correct position can improve your speed... and a lighter, faster bike definitely helps!
very cool... I can "hear" your excitement in your post
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Good for you Bad Ju Ju. I'm a huge fan of clipless pedals and an even bigger fan of Bianchis. You go girl!
And don't worry if you fall. Assuming no major injuries (don't use your arm to catch yourself), it's a roadie right-of-passage.
What kind of pedals/shoes do you have?

You did much better than I did -- I ran into a small tree the first time I went clipless. I was trying them in the grass, and looking down and wasn't looking. Whoops!

I find that my biggest challenge with the clips is to remember they're there. The clipping in and out is easy, but since I can't feel the straps around my feet, I tend to forget I'm clipped in.
But what really drives me crazy is the terminology. I have to clip in and clip out of my clipless pedals. That's just so wrong.
