OK, I have been cycling for awhile with clipless pedals, so I've taken a few spills here and there. What I didn't think I'd do was fall when I was just about to come to a complete stop. I unclip my left in anticipation and coast to a stop and lower my foot to come into contact with the pavement.

So with my road shoes on that has little tread, I did a chinese split. The top tube of my bike hits the left thigh and as I'm falling, my girlie parts hit the top tube and I see stars. I ended up on the ground in a funky split of sorts, cursing gravity.

I have since shelved those ice skates and I am now outfitted with MTB shoes.

Anyone have any tips for me on how to use road shoes?
