I was afraid of clipless, because I had Look pedals about 20 years ago and they were SUPER tight and I fell over a few times and just got generally annoyed with the whole thing. Then I didn't road ride for years (took up the mtn bike and never had the inclination to go clipless there) until this summer. I resisted clipless until my bike fitter said he thought I'd like them so much he'd buy the pedals back if I didn't want them after trying them out.
He fitted me with Speedplay frogs 2 days before my first road event, I tested them out one day and then off I went! They were so easy to use, I couldn't believe it. Granted, on the type of riding I do (mostly longer distances out in the country, not a lot of stopping required) I don't have to clip in and out much, but during my event this week we went through a few small towns with lots of stop lights and stop signs and I did just fine. The fear is gone! Hurray for Speedplay frogs!
