Ride the old steel commuter bike with the clipless only pedals so that you can practice on your old bike. If you fall and scratchup your old bike, not as big of a deal.
When you are comfortable with the clipless only pedals on your steel commuter bike, THEN put them on the new road bike.
VOILA!
Congrats on your new road bike!
Good idea! I almost cried the first time I fell after putting the clipless on the bike, not because I was hurt, but because of the scratches on my bike.
