Clipless Pedals?

[alpinerabbit]

@possegal - It just means your friends lack imagination

@ hayley - There are people who are not very coordinated (me) and have never taken a fall (me). If you keep thinking of it, it will be easy.

I'm sure I'll be thinking about it constantly! Even without clipping in I still somehow have trouble getting going from a stop sometimes.. my boyfriend is amazed at my ineptitude.

You are not alone. This article helped me last year.

Welcome to TE

I learned on SPDs and found them quite easy (but you have to adjust the tension!!). My only fall so far was not pedal related...it was an operator malfunction... I really liked the two-sided entry Very helpful when learning--you just fish around with your foot and eventually it clips in!

Now I have Looks and I love them I like that they have a large platform. I am not very good at clipping in because they are weighted at the bottom and for some reason the angle they fall at is difficult for me to clip in. They're relatively inexpensive on ebay (I think I paid $20-$30 for mine and they came with cleats) but you might be able to find something on craigslist too

I also nabbed some Ultegra SPD-Ls which I am planning to try as soon as my current cleats wear out (or maybe sooner)...

Thanks for the link ny biker :] Very helpful! I bookmarked it so I can look it over again when I get my pedals!

Thanks Ana! I definitely do love the great deals on Ebay and Craigslist :]
