clipless pedals
Were, no pun intended, a SNAP. I had to adjust the cleats and tension a couple times to get the balance jsut right, but ocne i got going, I was able to unclip my left foot for stop sign and stoplight stops, and I didn't fall once! But once some lady in a minivan almost took me out, I was able to brake and unclip just in time to veer away from her as she peeled, not looking, out of a driveway. But I LOVED riding with them, I felt like my pedalling was much more effiecient and my feet were far less fatigued.
:-) thanks for the welcome!
