I posted this the day it happened, but it's funny.......now! so I'll post again!
I fell my 2nd day with the new bike! I was turning around to head back home (was only .10 mile away from the house and forgot the water bottle), and had my left foot stuck in the straps. I was turning to the left, looked down to see why my foot wouldn't come out..........and down I went! I ate some asphalt, too! Tore my knee up, my hands and my face! It was terrible. Learned why you should NEVER leave home without the gloves!
Everyone falls. I have worked at a century and watched lots of people slow down, forget to clip out and fall! Seems stupid, but everyone does it!
Keep riding.........I've been riding about a month and I have only fallen the one time.....but I get to move to the clips next month! So I am sure the falling will increase!
