I had a nice ride in using my new clipless pedals and shoes; well almost new, I've been using them for a few days now. Have to remember to release my shoes when I come to a stop, hasn't become second nature yet. I had the same problem with clips too. Someone yesterday ran over a squirrel and I thought how unlikely that would be but today a kamikaze minded squirrel tried me but he or I managed to avoid each other. Very nice to be riding to work, nothing like a ride with a purpose!
