clipless pedals

well, my first play on the new and shiny clipless pedals didn’t end in disaster. after sitting on my bike in a doorframe for a while, clipping in and out successfully, i went out for a proper ride. everything went according to plan. the only time i nearly did myself in was when a sudden turn down a bikepath involved negotiating one of those zigzag slow-down set ups. at which point i had to grab at a pole to avoid falling over. but, being fair, if the pole hadn’t been there to hang onto, it also wouldn’t have been there to make me slow down and nearly fall over. score so far, me: 1, clipless pedals: 0.

EDIT. After a week of use I discovered the BBB Clip and Go pedals are useless – the cheapest pedals aren’t always best! I had huge issues with the spring screws loosening. Then I lost one. Then two. So I couldn’t clip into my pedals on one side. Then I got fed up and bought the Shimano SPD pedals, and they are FANTASTIC.
