Me too, tulip! I cannot imagine riding on flat pedals now. It is amazing how it becomes second nature.

The first time I ever tried them - with SPDs - I was standing completely still. I clipped in with my right foot, had my left foot solidly on the ground, and fell over to the right....on the ground....in front of a bunch of college guys (including my embarrassed son). I came away with a wonderful chainring bite on my calf. I claimed it was a bear....
