    About a week before I made the switch, I started visualizing myself clicking out before I came to stops on my regular rides. I got used to thinking about when I needed to click out before I actually had the pedals on the bike. That way, when I actually put the new pedals on the bike, I had less to adjust to. Never did fall.

    I have 50-50 pedals, and I love them. I can hop on my bike to ride with the kids, or I can get serious about it and wear my shoes. Good luck!

    Just beware that the dual sided pedals are weighted and it seems like I always have to kick it over to be on the correct side (which for me is the side you clip in on). It's not a big deal for me, more of an annoyance, but it might add another level of "practice" for you, in the beginning.

    I will remember this - right now I have nothing but BMX pedals, not even toe clips. I've also ridden 3 metric centuries in the last three weeks, so I am hoping this will give me enough skill and confidence to finally figure this out in time to get accustomed to this by mid-October...
