I have a question about this topic, too. I have new clipless pedals (Shimano PD600, I think is the number) with the new "walkable cleats" (they're black and yellow, if you've never seen them). Well, it doesn't help you to be able to walk on them if you CAN'T clip in and out easily, huh? I can get in, but it takes a little effort, getting out......almost impossible. I have adjusted the pedals as loose as they'll go and it's still hard to "pop" the ankle and get the cleats out.

I am taking the bike back to the LBS and having my guy clip in and out and see what he thinks. I had borrowed a set of pedals for a couple of months to see if I was ready for clipless; they were definitely easier to get in and out of; these are harder. Is it because they're new? Do I need to lube the cleats or anything? No one tells you anything, they just assume you know.......well, I am NEW and I don't know! haha!

I am so scared of being stuck in the pedals, that I haven't taken the bike outside with them yet! I ride in the trainer. I don't know what to do!
