One ride and I'm a clipless convert!

I recently asked a question on here about shoes and was persuaded by the responses to go down the clipless route. I've recently started riding again after an absence of 20 years.
Was initially looking for some shoes that would enable me to walk but my local shop had some Specialized Sport Road shoes reduced to £39.99 which appeared to be a bit of a bargain. I opted for some inexpensive Shimano PD touring pedals to see how I'd get on and went out this morning for the first time.
I know the general consensus on here is that toe-clips are the accessory of the devil but I've always been comfortable with them. The difference with clipless is amazing however. It's a totally different riding experience where you feel much more in touch with the bike. I know people on here will say, "yeah, we know, we've been doling it for years" but when you first experience it it's great.
I was initially concerned about how easy it would be to get the cleat in the optimum position and the tension right on the pedal but all appears fine. Getting your foot out is easy and what's more, clipping them back in becomes second nature very quickly.
Anyway, all that's a roundabout way of saying thanks for the advice

My pedals are one-sided but it really wasn't a problem. The main worries are whether you can clip them in which in reality was easy and whether you remember to unclip which I guess you'll only get wrong once
i managed to keep it all upright, but only just. the only offs have been from contact with cars and the clips have always done their thing and let my feet out.
