Thanks, everyone. I did download the flyer, and decided to wait (so hard for me to do when it comes to new toys!) for my favorite spin instructor. Glad I did, 'cause he installed the cleats, gave me a little primer before class, kept an eye on me and spent a 1/2 hour re-adjusting until he was satisfied. No one else, no matter how helpful, would have been so detail-oriented.

Now I have to get used to the feeling of my effort/weight being born on a smaller area of my foot. As I wrote to Trekhawk, I'm no Cinderella! But this "next step" is very exciting.

Also, I looked in the mirror today...and I think I'm beginning to have a waist!
