*This has in fact nothing to do with Audi*
After some problems with my feet whilst cycling I bought myself some proper cycling shoes (Shimano MT32) a couple of days ago and yesterday I got some clipless pedals (Shimano M520). The pedals were a doddle to attach as were the cleats, so in no time I was making a technological leap (about 10+ years behind everyone else here)... woot!
The only hitch was once the cleats were fixed to both shoes, I may have been too keen to see them attached to the pedals (before they were on the bike) which left me with a lot of manhandling of the shoe\ pedal to unclip them... you had to be there to see the funny side I suppose.
So far, from some riding today, the combo has been amazing. No foot pain, and acceleration is fantastic, with the help of the upstroke pull; it's like I have someone else's legs - i might need to change my gears as I seem to have run out at a couple of points today!
Besides not unclipping for stops, is there anything I need to be mindful of with clipless pedals or shoes (either generally or specifically about the parts I now have), to prossibly improve my cycling or just practical maintenance?
