i am starting to use clipless myself and coming from regular platforms.
got the pedals installed on saturday and have only practiced on the driveway.
first practiced clipping and unclipping while stationary getting a feel on where on the shoe it attaches to.
then on the driveway with a slow roll. so far so good. getting the hang of it with two close calls to the ground
can't wait to try on the road for a bit when the weather gets warmer.
it does feel a lot better when pedaling. can't wait!
good luck on your learning experience!
