I doesn't take long with clipless pedals, once you fall over you'll learn not to do it again.rek said:If you have never used a clipless pedal before, then it's worth holding off a bit until you're used to them. Inner city commuting is not exactly the most forgiving of environments to learn how they work.

He stayed idle for about 30 seconds and stayed on the pedals, i thought that was rather impressive. This is on a road bike too. I was curious as to what he would have don't if he lost his balance? In front of hundreds of people.

No doubt -- go clipless. And regardless of the kind of bike you ride, wear mountain bike-style shoes that you can walk in. You can't walk in road shoes.montreal5 said:I live in NYC, and I commute 10 mi a day and do another 10-20 miles after work. I currently use toe clips, but I bought a pair of SPD cleats.
