I wear clipless pedals unless it is snowing. It only takes me a few minutes to change them out. I've fallen too many times in the snow! Besides, I wear a clunky warm pair of boots when I ride in the snow.
Have patience. Good luck!
Yup, Been there done THAT!
Thought I'd mastered the pedals some 10+ years ago. Got my then 6 yr old daughter her first 20 inch bike ( slightly too big for her) went for a family ride on a trail system. Then, thinking that I was ready for more tension, I tightened the release tension a bit too much. Picture it, she's in front & the only way she can stop & put her foot down is to fall off her bike, which she does really well. (Can you see it coming?) Sooooooo she stops, & falls without a problem, I however, stop, can't unclip, track stand for about 5 seconds, then fall over on my back still holding the brakes & now the bike is in the air above me & i STILL have to unclip!!! Man, talk about a good laugh!
