Yes and no, Mimi. I've found that from years of riding with traditional toeclips, I've got the right reflexes (or whatever you'd call it) for unclipping. But as I mentioned earlier, with clipless, you don't feel the straps around your feet so there's a bit of a tendency--at least for me--to feel like the feet are, well, clipless, and hence to maybe forget that there's anything to clip out of. Does that make any little bit of sense at all?

Having said that, I do think it's easier to get used to clipless pedals if you've already been using some other attachment system on your pedals. AND, the feeling of freedom and oneness with the bike is unmatchable.
