I just got the duel-sided pedals, too. They take some of the (mental) pressure off when taking off from stop lights or (bleh) that quick dash across 4 lanes of traffic to the nice quiet bike path where all I have to worry about are kamazee squirrels, small children and big pine cones. When things are quiet, I can then take my time and clip in.

When I decided to go clipless, I spent some time visualizing the getting out of the clips thing. I told myself that From Now On I get off the pedals by moving my heel outward - like this (mental foot twist).

Surprisingly, it seems to have worked. I have had no problems (so far - this will now change) unclipping.

I should have visualized clipping in, too. Oops.

BTW, I'm noticing that our LBSs are having some nice fall clearance sales. Now might be the time for some nice new Stuff.
