Have i been doing it wrong??

Not sure about eggbeaters but the Shimano ones definately get easier to clip into overthe first week as the edges are taken off the clips.

I am not sure about egg beaters either but shimano definitely get easier plus you can dial the tension right down which helps.

I too had several comedy offs with spds - I started using them with very minimal practice on my first touring holiday - first time we stopped on way out of vienna on the side of the Danube to check a map I went straight over sideways. Second time we were in Metz (I think), clipped my pannier on an a frame sign in a narrow street, toppled sideways when I couldnt get my foot out and landed with my hands two inches from a passing Audi tyre (no Orange bike in sight) - driver was very concerned! Or at least I think that is what he was trying to get across.

Or just agree to disagree

Well change of mind, but I'm just going to be on the rides section as that's the important part for me. I have no need to block people, I don't really have a problem with him myself, and in the MTB world we all seem to be a bunch of people who get on pretty well I find.

FWIWT the point I seemingly failed to make though lack of clarity / confusion has been summed up in the photos above. Exactly what I really meant.
