I agree, my swap to speedplays wasn't an easy one, the tension is very high, but I didn't have any issues because I had rode clipless for a year.
Now my girlfriend STARTED her clipless ordeal with speedplays....it was kind of ridiculous, first off, shes not heavy enough to just clip in, she has to really bounce down on them, she had her first fall ohhhhh about 10 minutes in when she forgot her right leg was clipped in and she went to take a step towards me, she almost took me out as well.
