What are the advantages of automatic pedal systems for road cycling?
I have Shimano road shoes, but I a dilemma: I'm terrified of clipless pedals and the fact that my feet are attached to the bicycle. I know that with practice I will be able to use them freely, but I'm afraid out. Can I run only in the shoes without nails? Dimensions - adversely affecting the efficiency of my pedal? What concerns many additional muscle work, if I choose to ride without tacos? Thank you.
No, do not mount w / o sureties. Road shoes have hard soles usually black. Therefore affect your pedaling, and slide your feet on the pedals, very dangerous! Be sure to adjust your pedal to the lowest setting, to facilitate entry and exit. May be a good idea to roll in the grass in the first practice. Once the comfort level improves, you can increase the tension, if desired. Mate is to drive more than 20 years, and there is always more lower value. There may be no need for adaptation. The positive effect is the efficiency and power. There is really no strong effect on muscular work. As "they say" Once you adjust, never to return. 
Happy Riding!
