Hi Frank. I'm a native of Oxon Hill, right across the river from you.
What kind of shoe do you wear? If you wear SPD types, you can slide the cleat quite a way back. If you wear SPD-SL type, I think you are a bit more limited.
They might make some sort of adaptor for SPD-SL.
One thing: if you want to search the forum, don't use the forum's search engine because it sucks. Use google. Google will almost always lead you right back to BF, and it is way easier.
Good luck and welcome.
