Just got my new bike this weekend, the first time for clipless pedals. It hasnt been as bad as I anticipated. The guy at the bike shop put the bike up on the trainer, explained how they worked and just let me practice. I still get a little nervous in traffic, getting used to the new bike along the different pedals ....... Well I wished I would have went to clipless on the old bike, before getting the new bike, I am more afraid of scratching up the bike than anything.
