Hey Patty, just wanted to add that SadieKate is right- don't be afraid of clipless, in the end you will love them and will never wanna go back. I got my clipless pedals one months after i started riding a bike, and I never had a bike when I was a child. Be confident and practice , practice , practice. It took me 2 times of park visits and 2-3 hours of practice to become comfortable enough to ride with a bike club and in traffic. Don't think about falling, think about the joy that biking gives you. Good luck!
