The ancient New Balances I was using with my Power Grips finally hit the throw-away point and the new sneakers don't slide in as easily as I'd hoped. Perhaps with more break-in they'd work, but after last night's group ride, I'd had enough and swapped on a spare pair of PD-M520L pedals. So Today I rode my fixed-gear with clipless pedals for the first time in its 8000+ miles. The instant engagement at each green light was a huge relief compared to my recent riding, and I had no mishaps at stops.

Why the **** didn't I do this swap ages ago??
