Try Out Your New Clipless Pedals

Now that you have your new clipless pedals on your bike, it's time to try them out. Don your compatible cleated bike shoes, saddle up, and off you go. It probably makes sense to perform this last step in a low-traffic parking lot or somewhere similar where there is some margin for error if you haven't used clipless pedals before. It usually takes a while to get the hang of clicking in and out of the pedals as necessary, and you definitely want to be proficient at it before heading out into traffic.
