It was pretty much fine ... just that I am still struggling to get my left foot into the powergrips when the pedals are going by themselves.
More confident for sure. It seems that slowing down is pretty much instinctive (even if it's a bit awkward still, when you use the legs) and I therefore don't just roll into a position before touching the brake levers ... partly because I want to avoid stopping altogether, I guess.
Side effect is that people who don't just roll past me on either sides, even though they need to stop right after they did that? Wonder if I have been doing the same thing all the time ...
I'm still happy about the brakes though. Don't think I'll remove them.
