Mimi, you can do it! You are practicing and getting comfortable on a trainer first, which is what I should have done. Or at least I should have practiced on grass. Once you get past the initial clumsiness and fear, you'll will be so glad to made the switch. My cycling improved so much after going clipless.

I know plenty of people who have fallen a few times in the beginning, but I'm the only one I know of who was actually injured. I hesitated posting about that, but I wanted those of you on the fence about clipless to know that it can be done. I just went about it the wrong way. If I'd had known about the TE forum back then, I would gotten better information before taking the plunge. Oooh, that's probably a bad choice of words .
