Newbie question re: Frogs

You're not a true cyclist till you break your collar bone but don't do that either.

I reckon anything that has you winding up in A&E counts; double points if they admit you, ten bonus points for every night you remain in hostpital.

...and then 2 years later have to have surgery to plate and pin it back in place...


Regarding the which foot to take out of the pedal - it's really an inidividual thing. I always unclip my right and leave the left in. After awhile I start to get hot spots on my left foot so I try unclipping it and keeping the right foot in but that always feels awkard. Most taining books recommend unclipping your left so to keep yourself from falling towards traffic... but again you need to do what feels comfotable and that you will remember.

Oh good. That's what's comfortable for me. Glad it's at least been keeping me from tipping over under a bus.
