Well, I finally did it; I converted to cleats. This was a huge step for me, as I had been riding with toe clips for over 25 years. Anyway, I did the deed today and converted my shoes and both my road bikes to cleat style pedals.

Now, I had been lead to believe that my biggest problem as a cleat-novice would be un-cleating at stoplights. I recall hearing many stories about cleat novices falling over when stopping at an intersection.

However, I found that getting out of cleats when stopped was a breeze! It takes some work to get out of toe clips at a stoplight, so twisting my foot to uncleat was no big deal.

But, cleating back into my pedals proved to be a bigger challenge than I had anticipated. Sometimes it takes several minutes of fiddling around to get cleated in. I know that this is not the norm, having watched thousands of people cleat in their pedals in a matter of seconds at the start of a century.

So, my question is: what is the dang secret to cleating into your pedals**********

Thank you,

Jason
