And here I am with a pair of Shimano R550 pedals. First tryout was a nightmare. I fell quite a few times trying to stop. Should I lower the saddle so that I can touch the road with my toe without getting off the saddle? Now I am scared of traffic lights and roads with heavy traffic.

Being cool always seems to work out things better than expected. The trick to learning these petals is to keep a cool mind. No panic, slow and steady starting and stopping and all is good. Tried again today and it worked out nicely. Carefully, keeping the distances in light traffic and it worked wonders.
