pedals/clips/clipless 101?

[pinkbikes]

It's OK wildeny - you just have to move to Oz! I have a total mental blank about clipping out my right foot too!

This would be because I am a short person who cruises up to the kerb at the traffic lights, unclips my left foot (since we drive on the left hand side of the road) and plonks it unceremoniously upon the kerb until the light changes. Right foot remains resolutely clipped in.

It has never really caused me any trouble through the twenty-something years I have had clipless pedals because they don't look like they are changing the side of the road we drive on anytime soon!!

However, I have had to get my act together and educate my right foot since I started mountain biking. The convenient rock or high side of the track is not always nicely coordinated and sitting there on my left!

Well done on managing a first ride clipless without a gumby stack though! My DH says that if I look up the word "gumby" in the dictionary there are pictures of my two stacks in the MTB race the other week! He was behind me for both. Should I be suspicious?
