I finally switched to clipless pedals!!! Yahoo!!!! I went on my first ride yesterday and only fell once. Luckily, it was on a nice grassy spot and not a gravely hard concrete intersection. Also, I increased my average speed 1.5 mph, so I'm happy about that.

I think the reason I fell is becuase when I couldn't get my right foot out, I started to panic and pulled up and we all know that doesn't work. I actually lauged about it becuase everyone says you always fall once. It can't be all that bad to only fall once out of 20 miles with several stop/go intersections. BUT, I'm still kind of nervous about riding again. My HB keeps telling me soon it will become second nature, but when????

About how long does the nervousness last? I am terrified to fall on concrete and really do some damage to either my knees, let, elbows, etc.

Thank you all!
