Raab Posted June 19, 2012 Share Ensure that there is enough "play" between the pedal and the cleat. Other than that practise clipping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted June 19, 2012 Share Set the pedal tension to minimum and practice on grass. A lot. You will still fall in the street and look like a numpty. It's a rite of passage into the clipless cycling world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Cogs Posted June 19, 2012 Share Keh? As in falling off while locked in your pedals? Ride on grass until you get the hang of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLMTB Posted June 19, 2012 Share Anticipation, look far ahead and anticpate when you might need to uncleat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 19, 2012 Share Practice on the lawn or practice clipping in and out in the passage at home. That way you can't really fall over. Grebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebel Posted June 19, 2012 Share With cycling shoes and pedals........ Skill.... which comes with practise and a few falls! Learn to clip and unclip while stationary and holding onto something. Then venture out onto the grass. The sudden stop after the fall is a lot more bearable than fallling on your tarred driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL-HURT Posted June 19, 2012 Share Thanks......I am a old Tannie that decided to start cycling. Tried it in my lounge last nignt and nearly destroyed the fish tank. El Dodgius Bastardo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted June 19, 2012 Share youll be used to clipping in and out within the first 10 minutes of riding with cleats, the problem is when you stop out on the trail or at the parking lot and you forget that you are clipped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted June 19, 2012 Share I struggled at first but it was mainly due to the cheaper pedals that came on the bike. When I upgraded my pedals, it was a lot easier. Hope you get it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeTurbo Posted June 19, 2012 Share Wear knee pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Cogs Posted June 19, 2012 Share Also, loosen the pedals... so you can easily unclip. As you get better, tighten them until you are proficient enough to be locked in and not destroy any fish tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doris Posted June 19, 2012 Share also spinning in a gym with mtb shoes on helps with the confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
