light action speed plays!

I just started clipping in as well (two weeks ago). After ten minutes on the trainer practicing getting in and out---I was ready to ride, and since then have not had any problems clipping in or out. The pedals are "self-righting," so the clipping platform is always ready for clipping in. All you do to clip in is press down (no funky ankle twists or thinking about how to enter toe first and what not). To get out, you just sort of pull off. It is intuitive. They are simple to get out of. Good luck!
