Congrats on the progress!! Your excitement is contagous!!!
Not to put a damper on things, but if you're new to clipless pedals -- be prepared for the dreaded 0 mph fall!! (You are probablly too young to remember Artie Johnson riding the tricycle on "Laugh In".) It will happen. There are 2 types of clipless riders, those who have tipped over when they came to a stop while still clipped in and the other type is those who will. It is almost a right-of-passage. Most of us have had more than 1... Generally, it is only our egos that get bruised
