Well I made a couple trips on my street to get used to them. Went on my first real ride today. Did 36 miles. Got to a road that is being newly constructed. It was an old dirt road that they are building up and paving. I was going around a barrel and didnt see the yellow tape. Well jammed on the breaks cause I didnt want to break the tape. You can guess what happened next.... lol. First spill on the clipless pedals... couldn't do anything but laugh about it cause me and the bike were fine. Other than that it was an uneventful trip. Had a great ride. And I do feel the difference and advantage of going clipless, especially when climbing.
