My first fall

[farrellcollie]

My left foot did not clip out as I fell - spd clipless pedals (the ironic part is that they are campus pedals - clip in on one side - not clip on the other). My wrist is only sprained - happily I took most of the fall on my hip - which has a massive bruise (I hadn't been paying much attention to hip/backside until I got on bike Saturday and thought - gosh this hurts - looked in a mirror and realized the problem.)

I have had several falls lately. I purchased speed play zero pedals and put them on my old hybrid while I waited for my new bike to arrive. I fell twice on my old bike. Both times I was coming to a stop and could not get my shoes to disengage. Two more times with my new bike last night. One was a bad one. My husband made a sudden stop on the bike path and a lady was coming the other direction. I had to slam on the brakes and I couldn't get my foot out of the pedals. I fell over on rough cement, twisted my knee and ankle and got scrapped up pretty bad. I'm on the path still attached to my bike, the lady passed me and just looks, my husband just stands there. I think I screamed what are you doing? Get this thing off of me!! My poor bike got a scratch on the shifter and the derailer.

Do my pedals and clips need adjusted? Or am I a very slow learner
