Another fall off bike

[Melalvai]

Just fine. But all the times I've fallen, have been when I've been going slow.

Me too. In fact sometimes I've been almost stopped (trying to turn around at the end of the street, trying to stop at a stop sign with new toe cages). But I'd guess that's not so uncommon. Bikes are tremendously stable when they are going fast enough. On the other hand falls are much less damaging when you are going slow enough.

The last time I crashed I was barely moving, too. It was a gorgeous, sunny day, though, and I was coming to a stop light, turning left, watching for traffic, distracted by an oncoming pickup, and I couldn't get unclipped in time. Crunch. That was the day I decided to switch back to platform pedals.

I'm welcoming myself to this club . I have fell twice this week with my new road bike while learning to clip/unclip and trust me the thought of going back to regular pedals crossed my mind countless times. I wasn't moving for both falls.

Every time it hurts and is embarrassing. I fall all the time. Yesterday I fell on a rocky trail but I only dusted my clothes. It wasn't the case on Saturday. I was riding on flat ground without obstacles. Though, I found myself with a dull pain in the *** on the ground. I was totally surprised and when I looked at my bike, I saw a big brunch sticking out of my rear wheel and spikes. I can still feel the pain on my whole rear body. Also the muscles of my neck are always tense after every fall because they are used like a suspension to protect the body.
It's not possible to ride a bike and not fall. Even Lance says it. So, the only thing we can do is pray for less damage and insignificant traumas...or stop riding.
