    Welcome to the clipless tipping club. Im reading this and thinking yup know that feeling when you know its gonna happen and you just cant seem to get that foot out. Its like watching something happen in slow motion - you know its coming and there is not a thing you can do about it.

    Glad to hear you were not too beaten up.
    Sending smooth clipless riding wishes your way.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    I am right there with you. I was doing fine tonight until I decided to go up onto the sidewalk which required a tight left turn. I unclipped my right foot (Duh?) but leaned to the left and there I went. Luckily, I fell into the grass. I was glad that the neighbors who were out in the yard didn't laugh at me. I just got up and kept pedaling. Hey, that's what being a newbie is all about.
