I, gulp, made the leap and ordered the Shimano 540 pedals. I am looking forward to this and am nervous about it at the same time. I will be doing a LOT of practicing in my apartment clipping in/out. I got used to clipping in on the spinning bike long before I bought Stella, which has led to some interesting consequences!

I've been debating whether I should go ahead and have them installed/fitted, or waiting until spring when I can ride more regularly. I am thinking, however, that the longer I put this off, the more nervous I might be. Then again, if I wait, then I will have more miles under my belt - so I can't make up my mind.

Basically I am looking for some encouragement here so the fear of falling doesn't get in the way - though Tulip's advice some time ago to simply practice falling over doesn't sound like a bad idea
