Hi goddess1222,

I'm fairly new to cycling too. I got my road bike in May. I have found my new sport. I started using clipless pedals last month. I love them. What I did to get used to them was pedal up and down my road and constantly clip in clip out until it felt comfortable and seemed second nature. I rode in a road ride a few days later and felt very comfortable with them. I do still tell myself to clip out when I get ready to stop. Don't wait till the last minute to clip out. I like to clip out with my left foot as I am coasting to a stop. I put that foot down then I clip out with my right foot. I have seen some people clip out with both feet as they are coming to a stop. I tried it that way but it didn't feel right for me.

I am not yet brave enough to have clipless pedals on my mt. bike yet. I put my feet down way to much when I'm riding. Someday maybe.

Have you rode in an organized road ride yet?
I am hooked. They are so much fun.

Have fun riding
Vicki
