I'm so excited to say that I got clipped in last night. Came home, set up the bike in my living room, grabbed something for support and sat there all evening clipping in and out. Then tried moving across the room with one foot in, one out. That resulted in crashing into the wall, then later, crashing onto the floor. But I'm determined to get a grip on this clipless thing.

It's a brand new bike (Trek 4.5 Madone) and I'm still trying to figure that out, along with my mtb shoe and Shimano SPD's. I've been out on a mtb practiing hills, now I've got my beauty of a rb and dang ladies, it's alot for me to think about.

Now I'm open to hearing your tips and tricks to getting this right. I've been told to clip out early as I slow while approaching a stop. If I clip out early, where do your feet go? You can't dangle with loose feet cause gravity and body dynamics don't allow that.

Okay, I'll be back on the bike tonight one more time in the house, then tomorrow I'll hit the road.

Looking forward to your tips and what worked for you.
