Tonight will be my first bike ride with my “clippless” pedals and bike shoes. This means that I will look like I am in the big leagues, but I will still be in the back of the pack. (Though hopefully less tired because I am distributing the force through my whole leg rather than just my quads.)
I am deathly afraid of tonight’s ride. They say it’s a matter of “when, not if” for falling while you are getting used to the clippless pedals. I have only tried for about three minutes, but so far its really hard and I am SO uncoordinated. It takes a lot of concentration and forethought to unclip before a start, and some good coordination to clip in to get rolling. I would assimilate this to playing RockBand. You have to do several things at once with some finesse. I can’t play that game! I suck at it. I also sucked at Nintendo when I was a kid.
Knowing me, this will be a disaster. I am preparing for the worst. Cross your fingers for me. . .
