CLIPLESS OR NOT?
Do we recommend clipless pedals? No and yes. It depends on a couple of things. We don't recommend using clipless pedals to beginners and anyone looking to improve their cycling technique. These devices would not help in development of proper perceptions needed in cycling technique and they would actually simply get in the way since those things require their own getting used to. "Falling over" seems to be one accepted funny "hurdle" on the way to pedaling with clipless technology. It also takes a precious second or ten to get out of them so you would benefit on shorter distances...

YOU TOO CAN SWIM AS GOOD AS MARK SPITZES, MICHAEL PHELPSES, IAN THORPES OF THE WORLD
Yes, you can swim as good, as those Olympians do. You can learn how to operate your body in the water as swiftly and as smoothly. The task might seem daunting at first, since despite all the research, study and theories, there is no consensus on proper swimming technique and conventional academic swimming instruction varies. On top of that, the naturally talented ones can't really tell us, what they are really doing.
