I stayed away from clipless pedals until I'm more competent![]()
I think I'd jump in there as soon as you feel comfortable on the bike. I went clipless after just a handful of rides having not ridden a bike for several years. Took a few more rides to get used to doing a circular motion instead of a up down one you usually do without them. (only fell off once when I had unclipped one side and looked behind the other way when waiting for my friend to catch up)
