Feeling like a clipless idiot!

[macski]

I've been riding for a few months now and just had my first clipless fall - felt like a real idiot

I was on a group ride with about 15 other women so at least there was plenty of concern and sympathy - someone put a dressing on my elbow and then we were away again

I felt a bit shaky for a few minutes but lived to tell the tale

Hi Macski!

Wow, another Canberran How cool! I am quite new to cycling, only been doing it for about 3 months. Learning sooooo much so fast, and looking forward to my first clipless stack - am getting some pedals and shoes for Christmas present! This forum is great for support, answers, lots of stuff. I was wondering, what's the women's group that you ride with?

Cheers,

I'm such a gumby. I started riding clipless this fall and have fallen so many times. My riding buddies just laugh at me. They'll keep. Just wait till they start riding clipless.

Glad I'm entertaining. My hips are getting tough!

It's great to find another Canberran on the forum. I've been lurking for a little while but yesterday was my first post.

I always feel inspired after visiting here.

I've been riding with Pedal Power's New Horizons Women's Group (another inspiring group) - it's been a 10 week course for beginning women cyclists.

But I've joined FIT (Females in Training) and from Jan plan to go to their Friday morning coaching sessions and then work up to some of their group rides.
