Nahhh, I'll be 41 in a couple weeks and I just went clipless (come to think of it, I just got my first bike in over 20 years) I had to learn how to shift gears first, that came quick. I fell with my clips and straps and got the worst case of road rash I ever had, my poor mother rolled her eyes at me thinking those days were long gone!!! I got my Shimano SPD-SL pedals last Sunday, and so far I have adjusted pretty well. Even on the quick stops. The one time I fell so far, I was clipped out on one side waiting for this lady to make her left turn (from the other direction), she was going so slow I started waving her through and lost my balance to the side that was still clipped in. No biggie, but she had to stop in the middle of her turn and ask me if I was ok, I felt like telling her if she would just DRIVE instead of looking at my SpongeBob jersey, I wouldn't be on the ground!!! Anyway, I got no pride so there was none to be hurt. I figure I'll probably fall again sometime but I'm not going to plan it. Good luck and happy riding!
