Ms. Coordinated Here. Falling with Clipless Pedals

[szsz]

I'll bet nearly everyone here who uses clipless pedals has done that AT LEAST once. Uh, hello!

Word. I can't believe I did this AGAIN just the other day, right in the path of an oncoming cyclists, no less He was a doll about it and I was fine but for the embarrassment, bruise, and nicely skinned knee. OWW!!!

This was on my grocery-getter bike right after yoga so all my zen went right out the window, but at least I wasn't worried about damage to my hybrid steel tanker. (Also wearing Keen sandals, but they were not an issue. Love them!) Maybe I was too zen. I don't really know why I went down.

we ended up putting the 2nd screw from the left cleat onto the right cleat so that I could clip out without freaking out.

When I recently replaced my cleats (Mr. Sz says I stop like Fred Flintstone, but that's another topic for another thread) bike shop guy gives me the extra screws and advises to put them in my bike bag. My friend lost a cleat screw on a previous ride so I immediately saw the wisdom. (Now all I need, of course, is a multitool!)
