Tnanks everyone for sharing your stories of that falls that you've had. I realize it probably won't be my last! As I get more experience under me I'm sure I will improve in all areas of cycling. I'll keep you posted as to my progress. I'm still cycling with regular athletic shoes too, so I can't get my feet stuck or have problems with pedals for a while. Some day I will be brave enough to advance to clipless. hahaha
