How do I get started riding clipless?

-

AOh wow, prepare your legs. Riding clipless (which really means riding clipped on to your pedals, confusing terminolog­y fans) is a true test, employing both push muscles, a little pull, and a big dollop of fear of falling off. Practice clipping and unclipping at home, lest you find yourself toppling pathetical­ly to one side at the traffic lights.

Get good shoes (the Northwave Sonic 2 Plus at £119, maybe), strong cleats (try some £70 Speedplay Zero Aero Walkables) and get your feet properly set up because those cleats need to be at precisely the right point to be effective.
