I had my first intersection fall today. In front of all the passing cars. It was great! I had to take my foot out of my shoe cause I couldn't get unclipped. I had to giggle to myself cause yesterday my best friend had her first intersection fall as well when we went out to ride. Luckly I was there to watch out for her. I was a little nervous about getting hit. But luckly nothing bad happend except a little hurt pride.:o

I had one fall ,but there was only 1 car who drove by (it was early on a Sunday morning) . I couldn't get my foot out of the strap.:D I'm thinking about going clip less when I get my new road bike,but I live in very busy traffic,,,I would die of embarrassment if I went down at an intersection. I have so many busy intersection when I ride. Glad you weren't hurt.

When I sell clipless pedals, I explain to the customers that everyone falls at some point. You almost always fall at an intersection while being watched.:p

Been there, done that. I actually almost fell on Saturday. Had one foot unclipped, but accidentally leaned the other way. I managed to get the other foot unclipped just in time.
