[header] How to safely ride a bicycle with shoe connectors [title] Have a professional install the shoe clips or connectors. [step] You will need to purchase your bicycle shoes at the same time (to install the shoe part of the clips into), unless you already own a pair. Do not leave until you have engaged the clips and disengaged the clips. 
You don't want to find yourself stuck in them. Have the professional adjust the clips so that they are firm, but easy to disengage (by twisting your feet).
