Hey John...I can't imagine anywhere worse than NYC as far as urban driving...but you say Orlando huh? I guess anywhere you have a lot of people behind the wheel...

I'm lucky, this whole clipless thing is just a non-issue for me...I nearly wrecked for other reasons yesterday, ice under a bridge, and unclipping was the least of my worries...going across the Brooklyn Bridge I had to get in and out of the clips at least 15 times, really crowded and people walk aimlessly in the bike lane, so good practice! Manhattan Bridge for me from now on.

I really like the feel of the attachment to the bike. One thing I noticed right off the bat is a whole other set of muscles I seemed to be all of a sudden using because I can and they hurt today! I really need to dive deep into pedal stroke technique now.


I do need to be wary of my right knee (old injuries...). I still need to adjust the cleat there, something isn't exactly copacetic but it's marginal at the moment. So many things to work on, posture being another one, arching my back, keeping my position on the saddle, arms relaxed... I guess I'll internalize it sooner or later. My elbows were hurting just from handlebar shock yesterday...

This is so much fun...
