So I decided it was time to ride clipless! What was I thinking!?! The pedals came with the bike, Crank Brothers Smarty. And I got some middle of the road Shimano shoes. Unless someone wants to give me a good price I need help!

First, I cannot for the life of me clip in on the road. I can at home; mind you this is leaning against a wall brakes on, with all my weight on the pedal!

Then, on the road only God knows how I accidentally clipped in! What happened when I attempted to clip out, well you all know this answer!

So I fell! Thats right I fell! One foot clipped out, one in, and I fell one my ***! Thats not even the worse part! Someone saw me!!!

As I fell what was worried about:

1- Expensive bike clothes. Lycra totally intact, skin not so much! Don't worry just a scratch on my knee and elbow!

2- Bike mirror! I have been labelled at the bike shop as, "the girl that breaks all the mirrors!!" Check! Mirror okay!

3- If anyone saw me! Not so lucky on that one. But he seemed more embarrassed that I was.

What do I do? I read a ton of stuff on this forum. If I could clip in I would learn. According to my manual for the pedals I cannot adjust them to make them easier to clip in to.

I got the pedals on her now. I cannot ride her like this. I have frighten myself.

So if you could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Wanzar
