hahah, I had my first 2 falls this week myself.
I've been using cleats for almost a month now and I've always been able to yank my feet out in time. After talking with some co-workers they told me "don't worry, it's when you get comfortable that you'll fall"
Sure enough, I get to the end of my street ready to start my commute and I keel over. lol I thought " oh well"
Yesterday I was on a trail and had to make a U-turn for a detour and took it too wide. I ended up getting off the paved path and hitting some dirt and the front tire just came out from under me.
