Thanks for all the feedback.--

I went on a 40-mile ride today. I'm on vacation to do some riding, etc. and we're having unbelievably mild weather - what luck! I'm both eager and apprehensive when it comes to trying clipless pedals. It's a new habit to learn but it sounds worth it.

Thanks again for the info. The bike shops around here seem to have good answers for male customers, but those recommendations don't always work for me. These boards are really helpful.
