i just got my clipless pedals 3 days ago. i can see how these could be kinda scary, but i have just been riding around in areas that challenge me for balance and technique. this way I am forced to become comfortable sooner than i would if i were just riding normal trails or around my yard. the amount of control that these pedals give is amazing! the only part that i am not comfortable with yet is doing tail kicks to spin my bike around for switchbacks, but i only just started learning how to do that a week before i got these. they are some sort of shimano pedals so i made them really loose. the thing that surprises me is that i am not completely locked in, my feet can wiggle side to side alot more than i thought that i would be able to. Is this because they are used pedals and cleats? or do all clipless do this?


peace
