Hahahaha Imdeanna, that has happened to me several times as well, where my shorts get stuck on the saddle. Its rather embarrassing, but yeah, thank god they are not low rise shorts!
By the way...how do the Look Keo Elle pedals compare to the Look Keo classic pedals? Just curious because i'm looking to get some Look Keo pedals.

I made it!
Hey guys, I took your advice and I did not fall once today on my bike ride!!
We went for about 2 hours and I'm going again on Sunday. I had so much fun and I feel great! I am really liking my shoes and pedals. (Keo Elle Look pedals).

Welcome to the board, Raquel!
Glad you're feeling more comfortable in your pedals. I also just started using clipless last summer and just when I think I'm getting comfortable . . . the other day I was tackling a new steep hill on my ride home, lost momentum, and down I went! Very embarrassing, and a nice lady who was driving by in the opposite direction stopped and offered to help me get up, but I managed to untangle myself and thank her for her offer.
It probably goes to show the value of trying out new riding conditions/terrain in a calm, relaxed setting . . . thank goodness this happened on a quiet street!
I will probably look for a longer, gentler route home until I'm strong enough and skillful enough for that hill.
Hope you continue to have a blast on your new bike!
