I really want to do clipless, but I'm a coward, never did it. I've got a couple of bikes, and put dual purpose pedals on them a long time ago but only ride on the platform side at this time.

Are the multi-release clips good for a beginner? I have an older mt bike, considering new one to ride in the winter and year round, want to do semi-real mt biking - those of you out west would laugh at what passes for a hill here - highest one for miles is 200 feet over median elevation, and that is the exception.

Just an FYI, I'm a klutz, if I can fall I will.
