My bike frame is a small one, it has been properly fitted for me. Is this something which is common?
Antaresia is correct, toe-overlap can be a problem with smaller bikes. I've had that happen once myself, and while I didn't fall (somehow) it taught me to watch out for it. I've found that it is only an issue with tight turns...and I've learned what my limits are. Not all of my bikes have had that problem, currently neither of my bikes appear to be a concern but I still watch out for it.
