Making most of clipless

[Kano]

My first few clipless rides, I noticed in my butt.

After that, I didn't really notice that I was "using" the clipless pedals to any special effect until one day I got on my other bike -- with its flat pedals -- and OH MY GOSH!

DH was using his clipless pedals, and he took off like a bat out of somewhere. All I could think was "NO FAIR!" And I hollered that after him. First he laughed, then he unclipped, rode a little ways, and said, oh, wow!

Well I have to say that I never worried about proper foot placement... that I just did naturally. So maybe what you're saying is true... that I'm just not realizing the benefit. Which I could see since I've never ridden this bike without them. Maybe I should throw on some platforms just so I can appreciate the difference.

Oh and for the record, I had to look up what "DH" meant. I see a lot of people use it on these forums and I knew it had something to do with husbands. I just assumed it meant "damn husband." haha. That tells you what kind of family I grew up in.
