Clipless 2; CyclChyk 0

LOL... after my first fall, I was told this "sage" piece of wisdom...

"They say there are two kinds of cyclists... ones who have crashed/fallen, and ones who are going to crash/fall"

If we could ride lipless, maybe we wouldn't need to buy all that expensive chamois!

ROFLMAO!!!..........

CC,
It has been said that there are only 2 types of cyclists: Those who have fallen, and those who haven't fallen yet.
Clipless pedals are great for improving the efficiency of your pedalling and I wouldn't give up on them yet. Did you spend any time practicing snapping in and out of them before you hit the road/trail?
Even if you did, I would suggest you hope up on the bike again in your garage or wherever you keep it, and prop yourself up against a good, solid object, like b/t a wall and major appliance. Practice snapping in and snapping out. Free pedal the cranks backwards just to get the feel of them. Keep snapping in and out until it becomes second nature. Once you get the feel of how your pedals release and learn the movement, you shouldn't have too many problems.
If that fails, see if your pedals have an adjustable release tension and loosen them up until you feel confident.
Good luck and happy pedalling!
