I hate the platforms that came on my Trek...they are not double-sided and I can't seem to keep my feet on them.

I am disgusted right now, I went out, and couldn't seem to NOT fall over. Stopping was fine, starting up was not. I think I am gun-shy now and then I fell over so hard that I thought I broke my elbow - and I know what that feels like...but it is ok.

So now the plan is to go back to platforms on my Trek - and also on my Surly. Then, when I am more comfortable with BOTH bikes, take the Surly, nice 26-inch tires, out into some nice flat grassy field and stay there until I get this worked out.

I don't think the problem is the pedals, really. I think the problem is my needing to know my bike better and to have better handling skills before I add the clipless pedals back into things.

I fell more today than yesterday...though none were as bad as the falls on Friday
