Experienced and seasoned rider topples over.

Glad you were okay. I had my share of clipless pedal falls when I first started but have not fallen since the first 2 months.

Your post reminded me that I dreamed about falling over this morning- riding through a group of people who were standing around and taking pictures of each other for some kind of event (graduation or wedding). They were in the way and I slowed down to avoid hitting them, and just couldn't get my foot free. At least in the dream the fall was kind of slow motion, and I fell down gently and neither of us (bike or me) was hurt.

I won't mention any names but a super seasoned racer chick on here fell with her bike in front of a lot of us uncoordinated and beginning riders. She wasn't hurt but it struck me very funny because she's the last person I would have ever dreamed could just topple over.

Falling over does keep one humble few years back, I toppled at a packed intersection, still not 100 percent sure what I did, I just laid there laughing like a crazy woman, felt like the keystone cops. Glad you didn't bend you wheel, that would have really been bad

Again, no names. The woman who taught my group at the mountain bike clinic - who is awesome BTW - had a clipless fall in the parking lot when she was showing us something. She wasn't happy with herself, but it just goes to show that everyone can be subject to a clipless fall, not just beginners.

Very glad you and your wheel is fine!
