    one at a time

    A friend just went clipless last year - she put one clipless pedal on first, got used to it, then added the other. Just an idea, seemed to work for her.
    I've been clipless for years (currently eggbeaters, really like them). I'd recomend MTB. Love them, I feel like I have more control over the bike via my feet - not sure if that's real or fiction, but that's how I feel. Much better stroke.

    Okay, for the dual sided pedals, how do you make sure the right side is up? I assume the clip part is always going to fall to the bottom, like toe cages do, since it may be heavier.

    How do you keep from accidentally clipping in?

    I'm really clueless about clipless pedals. I haven't taken the time to look at them in the LBS, and I really need to see a large variety to understand exactly how they work. I can see where pulling up would be a great advantage on a mountain bike. So, maybe someday I'll give them a try.

    Dual sided

    It depends what you mean by "dual sided."

    My new Look KEO's definitely have 2 sides, but the side that has the cleat entry is weighted down at the back of the pedal so that it's in the right position for me to get in.

    Some mountain bike pedals have 2 sides, and it doesn't matter which side you get in - they both work.

    My boyfriend has Speedplays and they are also double sided and work on both sides.

    I just bought clipless! Speedplay Frogs. The guys at the shop were teasing/cheering a bit, cuz I SWORE I wasn't gonna go clipless. Ever.

    Haven't been able to try them out because the weather is so bad here right now.
