I think time to use to my Shimano pd-m545 SPD Pedals
I think it time to get use to my SPD Pedals
I have the Shimano pd-m545 SPD Pedals and Teva pivot DH SPD Shoes
and Shimano SH-56 multi-release cleats
What should I do just put them on my Surly LHT 26in 52cm 2008 and ride a week or 2 weeks
unloaded to get use to them???

If you have never ridden clipless before, practice clipping in and clipping out several times (a dozen at least) while leaning against something. The trick to remember is lead with your heel to unclip, this helps ensure you twist your foot in order to release.
If you practice like this, it will become more automatic to unclip as you come to a stop.
good luck

The Drive Side is Within
And if unclipping gets dodgy, be sure to get new cleats for your shoes.
