Murphy's Law Strikes Again

[Lifesgreat]

IMHO, there are two types of cyclists: ones whose clipless pedals attacked them and those whose clipless pedals will attack them.

Welcome to the first group Aren't you glad to get that over with?

Heal fast!

[Dogmama]

Yup. The ego hurts more than the body. When I unclip, I put my heel into the clip portion of the pedal.

I'm so sorry. That ego must really be bruised! my first wreck was at zero miles per hour. I came to a stop and forgot to unclip. I got beat up by the bike before I even hit the pavement!! I was fighting it all the way to the ground!!

Cyclchyk, sorry about the fall, but it's a rite of passage, and it's behind you now. Be proud of that road rash! I know what you mean about being a "mature" tomboy. I tell people that I suffer from adult onset athelticism.

I know what you mean about being a "mature" tomboy. I tell people that I suffer from adult onset athleticism.

Adult Onset Athleticism--or AOA--I love that, kaybee! I think I'll begin using it myself, with proper attribution of course.

So sorry about your fall, Cyclchyk. I don't have clipless pedals, but the same thing can happen--and has happened--with toeclips. At least you got it out of the way with a minimum of pain and suffering.

IMHO, there are two types of cyclists: ones whose clipless pedals attacked them and those whose clipless pedals will attack them.

And 3) Those whose clipless pedals will never attack them because they don't have any!
