    Well it's all ordered, and should be in my sweaty hands before the weekend.

    All the stories of falling over aren't helping!!

    Can't wait, though!

    You need to worry more about clipping in than out.
    Takes lots of practice to get your second foot in when you need to in a hurry

    A second hand bike I bought last September came with Look pedals, so like a previous poster, i jtook the plunge and bought Shimano shoes, got the shop to fit Look cleats whilst I was there, went and practised, fell over a couple of times, pure embarresment but no harm to myself or the bike. Never looked back and now I love it, and will convert my other 2 to clipless (from flat). Sometime a bit slow from the lights, and a bit hairy when negotiating tight turns in traffic at slow speeds - but have got used to it. if you're commute doesn't involve London traffic then i wouldn't think twice about recommending it.

    The pedals arrived today, the shoes should be along tomorrow (or worst case scenario Monday), so will have a good play tomorrow night, and then out for a long early morning ride on Sunday to test them out properly!
