I'm thinking if you can ride in toe cages, clipless will be a breeze!!
It's not working for me. I'm trying to do clipless for the second time, but I can't even get to the point of trying them on an actual ride, because I can't even get clipped in with the bike standing still. We've adjusted everything a million times, it seems, but I just can't get the feel for it. Or I'll have the cleat right on top of the pedal and I won't be able to make it engage. I feel like a complete moron -- last time around, I finally gave up after two weeks because it was making me not want to ride at all, I felt so dumb. I'm trying again now and it's not any better and I don't know what to do.

I'm using SPD style pedals and my husband suggested I ask here whether Speedplays or Look style pedals are easier to clip into, since I seem to have a learning disability regarding the SPDs. He's only used the SPDs but he thought the larger platform of the Look style pedals might be easier for someone who is, uh, a little dumb.

Toe cages, now, those are a breeze. But they also practically reduced me to tears the first time out, so I keep thinking that eventually something will click, so to speak, and I'll get it. Other times I think that I should just make myself a special jersey: "TOO DUMB FOR CLIPLESS."
