Today was a day of first for me.

First day out on the new Fuji.
First day of 70+ degree weather this year.
First day out on clipless pedals.

And first low-speed crashes on said pedals. Twice. Spectacularly. With witnesses.

Still, much better than a day at the office. :)

You know, the low speed Artie Johnson topple is inevitable, but only in front of multiple witnesses. :p

Last time it happened to me, I unclipped my left pedal, and tipped over to the right. :p In front of a gaggle of 30 or so gals on campus from the ΑΦΒ Sorority. It was nice, they all rushed over to help me untangle myself.
