I did the platform thing for a while, but if youre running brakeless foot retention is so much easier, at least for me, it relaxed me completely once i got clips, started behaving more smoothly in traffic.
and if you arent rocking trakkies or skids, i think youre missing a lot of the fun of it. at least TRY them, youll see what i mean.
go real slow, point the toe and push down into the clip, not horizontally, down. since im still getting used to mine too, i feel your pain, but thats the best tip ive picked up thus far..
yeah you have to try the skids...i started doing them in some loose sand in front of my house and now i am practicing trackstands in my living room, getting better
i agree, if you ride a fixed gear take advantage of the little things you can do on the bike
