Missliz, thanks for the explanation on how and when to pull both out - I was on my way to kill myself in traffic, I'm sure, trying to figure that one out!

One word of caution about learning to use the pedals on a trainer!! I learned (what little I know) on one and didn't realize that I was leaning my body sharply to one side when I pulled my feet out....I was doing great, but as soon as I hit the pavement, well, I HIT the pavement!!
