1st ride - new bike, clipless and 1st fall....

Also, what I've been telling people when they ask is "no, I didn't fall. The bike did, I only threw myself under it to protect it!"

That's hilarious!

I wish I had that line in my repertoire the 6 (yes, that's SIX) times I've fallen while clipped in!

And keeper, congrats on your new bike!

Hello all,
I'm just getting into biking after a 4 day vacation in France. I bike thru Bourgoune in a self guided wine tour. Now that I'm back, I can't stop thinking about the tour, planning the next one, and shopping touring bikes.

Sure enough I come home and the next day, splat, I fall off my bike. My left elbow is still healing. One thing for sure, I'm staying away from the clipless pedals!! Its not worth the falls.
