I was afraid of my road bike for a while. I had been riding a mountain bike for years and the thought of thinner tires and clipless pedals made me very nervous.

I just rode and rode and rode around quiet areas in my neighborhood. Don't take your kids (if you have them) as they are a distraction (sad experience leading to my crashing). Practice clipping and unclipping on grass. Sounds like you completed the obligatory tip over

Pretty soon it will be second nature. BTW, I now LOVE my Felt!
