FWIW, I actually think that the type of pedals you're using make clipping in a bit more difficult since you may need to rotate the pedal before you can clip-in. Not a bad choice for someone who has never used clipless pedals, but once you become more experienced you may want to switch to pedals that allow clipping on both sides.
One more thing: did someone check the tension on each and every spoke before you left the shop? Keeping the spokes at the proper tension is a key factor in wheel longevity, especially for a Clyde. Most shops offer a free tune-up after 100-300 miles. If you take advantage of that, it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask them to do a thorough check on the wheels. Most shops I've visited don't check the wheels and spokes automatically at this point, so you might have to specifically ask them to do it.
After about 7 years of riding clipless, I am ready to switch to 2 sided clipless. Since I use SPD for both my bike and indoor spinning classes, debating whether to go with the venerable Shimano 520, 540, or something else. My wife just switched to clipless and she has the Shimano M324, and will likely keep those for awhile.
