Finally fell

[li10up]

So I right as I was trying to unclip my left foot I fell over that direction right onto her concrete pad. My hip is still sore today. Other then that the bike and I are fine.

If you ask me you did everything right!!! You fell on your left side - protecting the precious gears and deraillers!! Now that takes skill!

Sorry to hear about your fall CR - but welcome to the club. As for your clips having other ideas: if it helps any, next time rest your heel on the pedal, that way the foot can't clip back in.

as for are they worth it MH? Heckie yeah! Take your bike to a grassy area and first and just practice clipping in and out. Also, in the early stages of riding, unclip just as soon as you even THink you're going to stop, like unclip and then reach for the brake, that way you won't have that moment of panic about your feet. And don't worry it, we've all fallen, we've all been there!


TLK: ROFL on the attempting to track stand without knowing how to track stand! On Yeah - played That game before! and one of these days I Won't get unclipped in time!


CorsairMac: yup, I fell in the median, during rush hour traffic, coz I just couldn't bear the thought of falling all alone!!
