Trial and error, [censored]. You'll soon pick it up......or break your arm.
My God. Talk about EGO. Same replies to the same pointless questions.

Gino, you're a [censored] idiot. What a dumb question...aimed at an equally dumb group. Same old boring questions over and [censored] over answered by the same self obsessed [censored] giving the same old boring replies..
Buy a pair of clipless and ride you [censored] moron. It isn't hard. Instead of reading over the same egotistic replies just get out there and ride. What the [censored] goes through your head? Do you actually think asking the same question that's been asked countless times in some pathetic group is going to make it easier to become accustomed to clipless? The guys in this group are more concerned with their ranking on Google rather than helping out some Italian [censored]. Just ride.
Comfort Gusset, stay off the cocaine. It's making you a bit aggressive.
I've converted from LOOKs to Shimano "LOOK-a-likes" SPD-SL. They use a modified Look cleat that (in my experience) lasts a lot longer, but seems to be the same in all other respects. The cleats are not interchangable.
I made the switch because I was breaking/wearing through a set of red cleats every 3 months - and I was hardly walking on them.

Are Clipples pedals easy to use ?
I want to get a set, but I don't want to go ass over if I have to suddenly stop (^_^)
Which are the best and easiet to use, so that I can get my shoes out quickly ?
Cheers
SPDs are quite popular, partly because you can buy street-looking shoes (and sandals) that have the cleat recessed in the sole. This is nice for people that want to walk around at their destination without changing shoes. SPD pedals are available pretty cheaply as well.
I use Look on my (road) bike, partly because it feels like a wider platform, not that it makes much difference with carbon fibre soles.
My experience is that most cleat-types are easy to get out of in an emergency, just twist your foot. This advice won't help you if you are already tipping over and haven't done it before :-0. It will encourage you to learn to twist your foot or get good at trackstands...

you arent doing triathlons in em are you? 😄 😄 😄
Sounds similar to my experiences of about 6-12 months/pair. I actually do use them for triathlons, but only for the cycle leg 😉 (I realised you were joking...)

I'm starting with clippless pedals myself (just had a set installed last weekend). There is little risk of going ass over when you stop, its more that you stop and then tilt over untill you crash into the ground.

Phone a friend, borrow an indoor trainer. Practice clipping and unclipping. There is only one rule. Don't stop pedalling.
