Is it manditory to fall using a clipless system? Heck, I haven't even put the straps on my road bike and I'm thinking about going clipless! I must be nuts!
Bad JuJu --- congrats are obviously in order (I think!)
Seriously, do people generally fall when using the clipless system? If so, is there a more correct way to fall to prevent injury??????

I went straight to clipless. Bought a new first road bike with clipless pedals. They have platforms that clip on allowing me to ride in tennies. Decided to ride the 25 miles to LBS to have some adjustments done. While there, I bought the shoes, got a clipless lesson in the parking lot, took off on the 25 miles home. Fell twice in a church parking lot. I thought I should unclip on the right when I'm a left unclipper. I ended up riding off in the grass when I wanted to stop so I could fall over if need be. I was a slow learner.
