thanks for the great pictures!! you made me laugh out loud. They are priceless.
I didnt even know that car gages went below zero!
I'm glad you were tough enough to go out but smart enough to give up at 2 miles.

My SPD's are as loose as they can be, they don't feel too loose, (but how would I know)
For now, I am going to keep them on the hybrid bike, I am nowhere near ready to go on a group ride with those things on!!

With your bike safely on the trainer try hard to pull straight up out of them - maybe even use your husband as a spotter - cause you might tip over if one foot pops out. You really don't want to accidentally disengage - my hubby had a non-shimano pair of SPD pedals that had some release issues (even all of the way tightned down) - pulled both feet out in an intersection once and took quite a spill.

Thanks Eden, I'll try that. So far, my knees have no issues, it's just a little weird with my right foot - the one with the eccentric orbit. the rest of me is where the issues are. it's so easy to pull out of the straps, just pull straight back.
Now I have to THINK.
