When I fell with my new pedals I had no choice but to get back on my bike and ride, I was 12 miles away from my starting point. I was nervous and shaking, but I didn't get too banged up and was able to get back on my bike and ride home. Now, if I see a stop sign, or a sticky situation, I unclip before I really need to so that I don't have to do it at the last second.
