For clipless beginners, SPD pedals are the way to go. Most pedals are double-sided, which makes learning to clip in much easier. The other advantage of the SPD system is the availability of Shimano’s multi-release cleats.
Is there a way to unclip clipless pedals?
Some clipless pedals like Shimano SPD offer adjustable tension. If possible, loosen the cleat retention mechanism on the pedals (again: read the manual!) so you can unclip super easily while you’re learning. (You can tighten it back up later when you become more confident.)
