Last Saturday at the Jack Frost I brought my new Atomlab Quikstep pedals. They are very cool and the mechanics are simple.
So….I lace up and “clip in” for the first time. I tried to unclip and fell over, did a total barrel roll on the bottom of the hill heading up to staging.
Once I did manage to get out of the gate…It didn’t feel that much different but I will admit I was nervous about falling. Granted, this was my first time on the track in clips so it was to be expected. Actually it was my first time EVER clipped in.
That said – I am not clipping back in until I get WAAAY more comfortable with them – plus I need to cut the opening on the sole out more to allow me to unclip easier.
The quicksteps do rock .. i got a pair too craig a lill getting used to is all.. and btw these pedals feel like flats allll the way.. i mean they are my first pair of clips and i tried my brothers times… pfft if these clips felt like that i wouldnt wanna clip in either.. Just practice in the grass craig , one foot at a time lol … and today at the local i fell after the race jumped got crooked and then came down HARD ! when i got up … it was as if i was on flats.. i mean when i landed it just like came right off the bike no tangle no nothing… amazing.
