Rough weekend on bike

[DeniseGoldberg]

The helmet saved me ,I know. I cant believe when I see people riding without them.

I'm always surprised too when I see people without helmets. I know that I owe my life to my helmet, and it sounds like you do too!

Susie i just posted in the daily ride section. These #$#$% spd's are NOT that
intuitive.I rode outside for the first time today with spd's
After a zillion rides where I stopped the bike and put my feet down, now I have to unclip them. I tell you what, you've got more pluck than me. I'm not sure I'd go back out after your ride yesterday.

I rode a total of 500 feet on the road today with SPD's it was scary enough because i had to stop and get off. I rode the rest of the time in the school yard, where thankfully, the boys that were playing basketball left BEFORE I got there. So no one saw me (or heard me) fall. But I didnt hit my head.

I didn't know what you meant about letting your foot drag a little after you unclipped, i'd like to know any tricks you learn.
Thanks and good luck.
