I started cycling for four years following a health problem and for three years I hesitated to take the leap to the pedals! I have read the forums, sought the views of cyclists met at random from my outings and I finally tried. I said that I ride on the road and therefore not primarily on cycle track mountain biking. My bike is a hybrid bike (Giant CRS3). For my first outing with the PD-A530 pedals I did 60 kms. The first 30 with ordinary shoes on the smooth face: impeccable. The weather was dry, the shoes have spikes. For the return I have experienced the pedal face automatique.J'avais my shoes (Shimano RT32) in my backpack. I was gone for a few tens of meters and I made 30 kms.Le next day I did 75 miles and everything went well ... no fall, no pain. I set the pedals to the minimum voltage and unclipping is as a flower. Now that I've tried I think if most of the stress comes from the fear of getting stuck, the biggest risk is wrong adjust saddle height and position of the blocks. In this setting I found a magazine article the cycle that helped me. To begin and for my use these pedals are perfect. For sure I will fit my new bike I receive in September of clipless pedals (Shimano A520).
