I thin...Rose; I am realy glad that you posted this. I think that with the terrain that we have here; i.e., hills on most of the rides that we do, that clipless pedals are the only way to go. I would like to propose that the more you ride without them the more intimidating they become; and you are learning habits that may be harder to re-train should you choose to graduate to clipless pedals later. I have a friend who was learning clipless pedal riding, a new rider, and we got her Shimano pedals that have a platform that you can clip into one side; so that you have a clipless pedal when you want and a platform when you want. That way you can gradually build your skill. I think converts will be amazed at how much more power and stability you really do have with the clipless.Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13295041770795032734noreply@blogger.com
