Congrats on the clipless pedals. I rode for nearly 20 years with toe clips before I made the big leap last year, under the watchful eyes of my boyfriend. He worked with me to make sure I was comfortable with them and once my confidence was "normal" I set out on my own. Well you guessed it, I fell on that ride. I was worried about my wrist (I landed on it) for my wrist had spent 6 weeks in a cast just a few months prior due to severe tendinitis. My wrist felt ok and I wrote it off as a stupid mistake on my part. However, 6 weeks later my wrist was really bothering me so I returned to the hand specialist and quickly learn, after viewing my own radiographs, that my wrist substained a fracture in that fall. Again, I sported a cast and I really felt stupid. As it was explained to me, falling is part of the rite of passage with clipless pedals and some fall harder than others.

Enjoy your new pedals and remember to unclip a foot before you stop!
