The moment I've always dreaded...I fell over while riding 0 mph. I was stopped, talking to my dad with my left foot unclipped. He was to my right, i was looking down at something he was pointing out about his drivetrain, I leaned right a little too far and down I went.

Everyone always said "you're going to fall eventually." I thought I was in the clear after 5 months of riding clipless without falls.

Thats called a "highside" the worst one.

Ahh.......during that time you should have been practicing clicking out of your non-dominant foot as well. Chances are, in this situation you would have instinctively clicked out of the other foot and saved yourself. I've fallen a few times myself, but this has also save me from many more embarrassing moments....

Lol good one. I kinda had something similiar almost happend today. I clipped out of my right pedal but then ended up leaning slightly to the left. Luckily for me there was a garbage can on the left side which I managed to hold on. Another time I was saved by a friend beside me. And yeah I am new but still haven't had that real fall due to the pedals. Someone told me to always be out of the seat as you unclip... I think that's a good tip, I just don'l always follow it myself.
