Yes. SPD-SL as first pedal choice not recommended, especially with really shiny new shoes... trying to clip in and missing and sliding is no fun at traffic lights. the piece of cake and first fallover event: Uphill junction, adverse camber, car causes a 'hmmm need to stop' moment. Foot not out in time, topple tastic to much hilarity from the crowd at the nearby cafe and my riding partner at the time. 'just like watching a cartoon' I changed to double sided speedplays.
