Hello other newbies. Just here to say that I managed a ride with Crank Bros Candy-C pedals and cleats. No problems. I clipped in. I clipped out. I stopped. I got off. I did it again.

I've only had a road bike for 2 weeks. I just started riding a mtn bike regularly in mid January. And I am rightly known to friends and family as a clumsy sort. If I can do it, you can too.

I DID spend the evening before with my bike in the indoor trainer mounting the bike, clipping in, pedalling a wee bit, clipping out, dismounting. Rinse, repeat. It was time very well spent. When I got one my bike for real, my feet knew what to do.

No doubt I'll tip over one of these days, but my first ride out, there were no incidents.
