The Clipless Experiment

Tried riding with clipless pedals and shoes for the first time today. No Bueno =( After riding my whole life with toe clips it uses completely different muscles, aggravated my acl, i felt like i was doing less power transfer, and i fell in the streets of nyc 3 times (2 red lights and one right turn fall when i braked hard to avoid a jaywalking pedestrian coming from behind a double parked car outside of the crosswalk).

On the bright side i learned how to unclip pretty quickly but i dont even see the power benefits that are supposed to offset the mobility loss. This may be an expensive experiment.
