Can you also check whether you have SH51 or SH56 cleats on your shoes:

Very important when trying to rip your foot out quickly! :-)

I'm using the look keo equivalents having recently got the assioma Uno power pedals.

Have to say I massively prefer the Shimano spd-sl (yellows).

Far more efficient. Will generate more power. Power is key in cycling. Hence the power meter too. [Post edited 29 Jun 2020 9:30]

I am fairly sure that the key to cycling is going hands free so you can eat on the go!

Once that is a mastered, trying to clip in whilst starting on a +10% gradient, when very tired, can also lead to moments of embarrassment.

This situation is where I Love my speedplays, if you live in a hilly area they are a lifesaver !

Depends what clip in you use. I had Look Keos annd never got used to them

Shimao SPD on the lightest setting are very easy to get in and out of - but I have recently switched to a dual pedal which I would heartily recommend for added security at junctions

Quite rare round these parts speed plays. Are they used more widely in hills?

Gotta shave your legs too,you won’t go any faster but it makes stripping the Elastoplast off the inevitable road rash ,when (not if) you occasionally keel over at junctions,less painful!

A few bike shops are stocking them down this way now, and you see a few about, they are hugely easier to clip in on an incline for me, but I’m guessing the pricing puts a lot off as the are silly expensive for pedals, cleats, covers etc when compared to other brands.

Managed a 30 miler without falling over. Couple of near misses and defo going to struggle if I have to unclip going uphill...

But still not kissed the tarmac due to the clips :-)
