Welcome to the channel! In this video I talk about the methods and tricks I used to learn to ride clip-less pedals at 46 years of age. It's not as easy as for the younger mountainbikers, but you can learn it!!!

So as I was saying... I made the switch to clip pedals at 46 years of age. As a heart attack survivor with a damaged heart I was looking for a little more efficiency on the bike. I found it using clipless pedals and so much more! I don't regret it one bit! I'm not only faster uphill, but on the decents as well. So much more control and confidence when you don't have to worry about your feet staying on the pedals.
If you want the same, watch my video and use the tricks I used to learn. You will be a little slower on the decents at the beginning, but with time you will be faster and more confident than ever before! Especially if you ride a hard tail.
