I’m ok with right turns

It’s left turns, or actually left turn signals

I do practice them, and I get I was getting somewhere last week, ( was riding by chunky MTB, no cleats)
However today I was back on the skinnier new tyres of my hybrid and in cleats and I just didn’t feel able to.

I need to work on it.
Right is super confident, left not at all.

Oh I could have so much enjoyment spending a few hours with the Fetch ladies doing some coaching 😁

I'm not confident enough to attempt cleats.

I use cleats..fell off the first time I used them as unclipped my left foot and lent to the right. That's the only time but I do keep them very loose so just a slight flick unclips them

No cleats for me, despite constant nagging from OH. I'm really quite averse to falling off my bike, even in slow motion ;-)

I have multi release MTB cleats set as loosely as possible. That way I never fail to unclip. Have never accidentally come out of the either.

It just seems like one risk too many and one too many things to think about :)

Double Dutch is skipping LG. There’s a thread for that https://www.fetcheveryone.com/forum/skipping-for-runners-61369/. 😉

If there’s a thread for this already, I haven’t seen it :-) But I thought it’d be good to have...
