I'm going the route of getting used to my clipless pedals before trying to ride fixed gear. I predicted a 0 mph tip over within the first 3 weeks of going clipless, and I got that over with at critical mass on Friday :c) I had the right foot out, was in the process of getting the left out, and somehow ended up clipping the right one back in as I tipped to that side (and it seems takes me for friggin ever to get clipped in when I WANT to be...). It was pretty laughable, though, and I came out of it without so much as a scratch. Anyhow, I was able to do a half-a$$ed track stand with a freewheel before going clipless, and it does seem like my balance is off if I try to do it clipped in. I had some larger BMX pedals on it until I got some shoes for the SPDs. Now I'm just worried that if I'm trying to do a trackstand while NOT clipped in, and I have to bail, that I will have a repeat incident of getting my foot clipped back in by accident. Possibly a different pedal would would be better?
