My last fall was mid70's on a freshly paved busy main street and I was riding along close to the pavement edge. I rode off the edge and the tire would not climb back up the 4-6" drop off and down I went, right into traffic. It was a beautiful spring day and I had removed my shirt. I rolled twice and ended up on my feet facing traffic so I could dive for the ditch if needed. I lucked out with only a moderate amount of road rash. This was with clips and straps which I still ride. I would like to try clipless though and I hope I am lucky enough to not fall. I am not as spry and more prone to breakage than I used to be.
