Sorry to hear about the your fall Jean. Wish you well and a quick recovery. I am new to riding and had my bike for a month or so and thought I was ready for clipless pedals Well, first day out I fell at a stop sign. Luckily no one was around. Had a big bruise on my thigh. 2 days later lost balance and went down in my driveway in the flowerbed. This was all in May. Was doing pretty good and then 2 weeks ago I took a bigger fall on the road with a car behind me. Wasn't thinking. Was all excited that I hit 300 miles. Ripped open my knee and really hurt my wrist. I have only been out 3 times since then and I am changing back to pedals this week. Maybe after several months I might feel different and want them back on.
