Needed new pedals as I couldn't use my new cycling shoes (bought elsewhere years ago, but kept in box) with old-fashioned clips and straps. The assistant took the time to show me the clipless options, and pointed out the ones I might find easier to use as a first-time clipless user.
I chose a set of pedals, and had a look round the shop while the assistant and his colleagues fitted my pedals and cleats. I was also given advice on riding with clipless pedals, and on how to adjust the tension when I have gained a bit more confidence with them.
I'm getting back into cycling after a long lay-off. It's great to see that independent bike shops still give a good standard of service.
Thanks guys!
Update : No reflection on the subject shop, but within two weeks I bought a pedal spanner and put the old ones back on. I did not feel safe being clipped in.
