These are what I started out with and now put them on my commuter-mobile. I quickly got used to and enjoyed SPD. Now it's a little frustrating feeling for, and flipping over the side with the clip.

My road bike has standard SPD pedals.

My LBS set them up on the loosest setting, "if you sneeze they will come unclipped" he said. Often I use ATB shoes, easy to walk in.

Can she practice on a trainer, and or quiet road?
