New to cycling - clipless pedal dilemma

[estronat]

Right now I'm keeping the regular pedals on my bike though I do have a set of SpeedPlay Light Action clipless pedals and cleats that I am waiting to have mounted. I need to get a pair of shoes as well. My strategy is to get really comfy with the bike itself, since it's new and I'm new to it and to cycling, after not being on a bike for 25 years. Then, once I'm comfortable with the bike, the handling, etc, I will have my LBS install the pedals and I will spend an afternoon on a trainer in their shop practicing clipping in and out, in and out. Developing muscle memory is the key, I'm told. The shop told me the SpeedPlay Light pedals were among the very easiest ones for noob riders. We shall find out, eventually, maybe in a month or so.
