The first time I used my clipless pedals, I fell over on a flat. Slowed to discuss with a friend and forgot to unclip.

The second time, I used them, I fell over at an intersection. Forgot to unclip until too late; once remembered, the getting out was unfamiliar still and failed.

The third time, I complained to my husband that it was too hard to get both in and out. He suggested I keep left plugged in and play around with how to get the right in once riding.

I now will not consider riding with anything else. Like everyone says, you need time to get used to a new system. Give it a good couple of weeks, and if you still hate them, by all means get different ones. But give it an honest try and let us know what you think!
