[QUOTE=irrealised;435518]Put your regular pedals on and ride!!! Once you get used to your bike you might want to give the clipless another shot, but it doesn't matter if you never even try them again. It's no fun being afraid to ride your bike, so do what you need to to get comfortable and gain some confidence!

I agree! My LBS talked me into buying SPDs to go with my new road bike, even though I hadn't ridden on the road in years and wanted to start with ordinary pedals. Of course I fell off a few times trying to use them, got too afraid to try again, and left the bike sitting unused in our spare room for a year and a half. Eventually, thanks to the encouragement of friends, I put some regular pedals on and off I went. It only took a few weeks of riding and I had enough confidence to try out the SPDs again (after practicing using them in a few spin classes). Once I was used to the bike they were fine!

I've just swapped to some Look Keo's and am going through a little learning curve again, but nowhere near as steep as the initial switch to clipless. Get used to the bike, then see how you feel!
