Little 'WAHOO' and a Shoe Question

[AMP]

Artifactos, you just gave me a thought: By switching pedals with my husband, I'll get his great weight and strength to break them in and then switch them back! He has Mavick and I have Shimano Ultegra. Either way both clips and pedals will be broken in effortlessly.

Oh and I tend to clip out consantly on my right because I'm stronger and use that side to pivit off of. I should force myself to practice on the left not just for me, but for the pedal.

Ok so now I am here reading here how many of you clip out right thinking that I must be in the minority that clips out left. My only stall and fall happened when I had clipped out left but accidentally leaned right. Crankin, I am the same way with my speedplays. It is automatic!

The tension on many pedals are adjustable. On the mtn bike I was loaned they made me nervous because they were so tight but a few turns with the allen wrench and it was much better.

I unclip the left first and steer slightly to the left before I stop. The times I have fallen it's because I couldn't get my right foot unclipped fast enough.

I clip out only the the left as well. This was just how I was taught as my right leg is my stronger side.

Also, in Australia we ride and drive on the left hand side so your gutters, poles etc are on the left.

I have tried practicing unclipping and stopping with my right foot and it just confuses me. If I was in an emergency I would unclip left and then just tip over until my foot touched the ground.

On my first road ride I stopped at a set of lights, put my left foot on the ground and still had a soft fall to the right. I have no idea how it happened!
