Donna - I feel your pain! Whenever I have had a fall from a bonehead move it has been in front of an audience. Talk about mortified!

The first time I ever had clipless pedals on my bike (then a mountain bike) I fell - and I hadn't even gotten ON the bike. My son and a friend of his were standing there, I clipped in on the right pedal and with my left foot on the ground, weighted the RIGHT pedal and fell! I had a wonderful chainring bite on my right calf for weeks (I claimed a bear bit me!).

Good luck & keep pedaling!
