Geez, I thought I was the only one to fall off on a test drive! I was at my LBS and took a $1300 road bike out for a spin, but used the straps/clip and took a nasty tumble when I didn't get my foot out in time. I think I was trying to save the bike!!! I was bleeding pretty badly from my knee and it was the same kind of thing...the guy at the store kept asking me if I was ok. I was more worried about the bike! It wasn't until I got home (I didn't buy that bike, I got one that was MUCH more comfortable to ride) that I realized how much blood was on my pants and what damage I had done to myself. It was over two months ago and it's finally healed. Now I have new boo boos from my more recent crash! I finally took a road cycling clinic @ REI, which amused my friends no end.
