Thoughts re: clipless after 3 months

[thekarens]

I should clarify that I don't expect to be as lucky every time as I was Monday, but it did take some of the fear out of me and gave me a bit of confidence. I was all prepared to topple over and was thinking to myself "don't put your hand out to break your fall!" :-)

Oh, and there are many times I'd like to be able to just jump on the bike for a short ride without having to put on the shoes, so I can definitely see the advantage to duel sided pedals.

That's where havng a utlilty bike of some sort comes in handy!

I've been lucky in that my clipless topples have been few and far between. Ironically, I didn't fall at all when I first started using them, but I've had a few since then. The last one happened when a piece of wood gut stuck underneath my fender on my touring bike while riding the Katy Trail. That kind of hurt because I fell on crushed limestone with my foot still firmly clipped in.

What kind of pedals are you using, the karens?
