I knew I would fall with clipless..it was just a matter of time. Twice on the same day, in fact, both coming to a stop and forgetting to clip out...
My mantra: "Save the bike." No scratches on bike; bruises and scratches on me and my ego... I figure, if I'm going to fall, relax and let it happen.
Happened again in the summer, trying to climb a gravelly hill with my road bike. (what was I thinking?) Tires started to spin..going nowhere. Falling. "Save the bike." Looked like a turtle on it's back, still clipped in, hands still gripping the handlebars.. Another lesson learned and no scratches or dents on my bike. I do believe that I'm done falling for the year..when the weather turns nasty, I'll be safe on my trainer in the basement....(Has anyone fallen off their trainer?)
