    Red face I'm a Real Rider now

    Bought some clipless shoes, spent a while on the LBS trainer learning them. Went for a 10 mile-ish ride, was doing great with the clipping & unclipping until the very last red light. Promptly unclipped my left foot, came to a complete stop, forgot about unclipping my right foot & promptly fell right over. I burst out laughing & all the fishermen(I was riding along the bay) start yelling " U ok?" "Need Help" I just laughed & said, nope new shoes that's all. Hopped back on the bike & continued on.

    Wasn't till I was loading Oscar into the car that I realized I was bleeding from my knee....oh well.

    I'm w/you Pikato. Practiced w/my clipless today too. Was doing great until my daughter zoomed past me and yelled Whoa! and down I went. I have a skinned left elbow and knee too. I fell in dirt, same difference, now I feel like a 10 yr old w/ skinned knees. dh tells me I need more of them LOL. What kind of shoes did you end up with?
