Hi, I'm new to MTB (been riding 4 month's), and I love the MTB scenery. I'm quite frustrated as I am struggling with my clipless pedals (already adjusted the tension to the easiest), and can't get my foot out in time. I have fallen once and got injured badly, since then I'm afraid of riding and when I do ride I'm overly cautious. Don't get me wrong I am not afraid of falling, but rather of getting injured again. I have been riding on-road for about six years and decided to change to MTB, but are rethinking that idea. Is there any ladies that have been riding for a long time, that could maybe give me advice please?????. I am considering flat pedals, but everyone seems to think that would be a mistake as they say I would either slip off them on very rough obstacles and will struggle with climbing as I am quite use to the push and pull action.........ultimately leading to bad riding technique.
