    I'm still getting used to it.

    The shimano pedals are great! The clip in action occurs when your toe is pointed down (rather than FLAT like the guy told me at the shop) I've clipped in without hassle everytime! (so far)

    Clipping out is another matter.

    I had my first fall today. No bruises, no aches or pains... No grazes. I unclipped my left foot at the red light and put it down too close to the bike frame so OVER I went (to the right) as I couldn't get the right foot clipped out in time. (Right hand dominant, and since most gutters and we ride on the left over here so I unclip left first)

    I've got to wear the breaks in as well. Pink came straight outta the box, got fitted on me (so the brakes and rims aren't ROUGH) Even BF couldn't get her to stop on a hill.

    Some work to be done on her tonight let me tell you.

    welcome to the "fall over when stopped at lights club" glad to hear there was not major damage to you or that beautiful bike!
