clipless, kind of scared about falling for the first week :/. Lots of traffic in my city (Scarborough), no bikes, and aggressive drivers.
practice clipping in and out in your driveway or on some grass or some place without cars for an hour or so to get used to it. set the pedals to lowest tension while you are learning if there is an adjustment. and don't be afraid to use your brakes to control speed on downhills as others have mentioned. and you probably will fall at least once and it will be embarrassing and probably happen while you aren't even moving at a red light
