I also had the obligatory beginner clipless fall... slowly stop and fall over.

Hey, all you lurkers! An awful lot of viewing and not a lot of voting. The best result comes from a large statistical sampling.

228 views and 8 votes? I'm going to start lurking on "who's on line" and calling out names of you slackers that look and don't vote.
Come on! My assumption is that most most falls are low speed and not career ending. Sure $hit happens. It happens in all sports and daily life. Is my assumption true? Can we reassure the timid that they can persevere and enjoy the ride?Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

I voted!
Only one fall so far. Kim saw it. It was our last day of the Yellowstone tour and my pedals were filthy...
That's why my knee warmers have a patch.

I have only fallen twice. Once was a low speed tip over the first time I used toe clips, and the other was a sideways slide on some rotten leaves. The second one hurt a lot more.
