Don't feel too bad....I got my first clipless pedals at the end of last season and thought I was doing fine with them....So now I decided that I want to become a better rider - so I went on my first group ride this past Saturday - gorgeous morning - 24 mile ride - and I fell about FOUR times!! ; ) My knee is a little banged up - as is my rear ; ) Funny thing is that I actually clip out fine - I clip out with my left - but the problem seems to be that I never learned "proper" starting and stopping skills - so I've always done these things while sitting in the saddle - but problem with clipless is that when I lose my balance at a stop (when i'm on the seat and can JUST touch the ground) - i end up falling over to the right side (where I am still clipped in) and over I go....rather embarrasing I must say.... ; ) Everyone was giving me pointers - but the truth is that I feel rather unbalanced when off the saddle - I need to work on these skills....perhaps I'll practice early in the morning at the local track - that way when i fall right there will be grass to catch me ; ) any suggestions?!!? i guess practice makes perfect...but will probably take a few more falls i fear...
