iFKA- in case you haven't guessed by now, "clipped in" means you are using shoes and pedals that clip together SPD is one type, but there are others.
Don't feel too jealous, today we have tornado warnings and high winds this afternoon. The rest of the week it may snow. Ho hum, I guess I am back to riding on a trainer indoors.

Congrats on getting outside!
Why is it that SPD are "clipless" but you're still "clipped in"?

The cages that some people use on thier pedals are called "toe clips" so the next advancement was the "clipless". I know, it makes no sense, but neither does wrapping my fat behind in spandex, just go with it!!

Yeah, clipless refers to the fact that there are no toe-cages or "clips" on your pedals. So you're "clipped in" because your cleat is attached to the pedal. They're kind of two different terms, in a way.
Barb, does your tailbone contact your saddle? If so, you can find a saddle that it cut out or recessed in that area, like mine. Don't know if that's the issue, but it might help. Good luck!
