It is not a hard transition to make but people of all ages and skill levels frequently fall for no other reason than clipless pedals.
Falls that usually result in minor bike damage, cuts, bruises and even broken wrists.
The best part is that you paid a lot of extra money for this to happen in the form of special pedals and shoes.
But hey, if it makes someone feel like a more legit or serious biker who is anyone to dispute that?
Rock on
With regular pedals I have trouble keeping my feet in the right position on the pedals and I would think clipless would solve that and be more comfortable than half clips or clips with straps.
If I wanted to be completely safe I wouldn't ride a bike to begin with.
