I've been riding clipless for a couple years now and fell a couple times when I first put them on trying to get the tension right. No falls since until 2 weeks ago. The wife and I were riding along a beach bike path on a Saturday afternoon. We were going through a ped heavy area near the entrance to a pier so we were going pretty slow when a couple stepped in front of me I tried yelling to get their attention, to no avail, at about the time I came to a complete stop I thought oh S**t I forgot to clip out. I just flopped over right beside them, that finally got their attention . It was fairly humourous, I had no one to be mad at just myself, I knew I should have been clipped out as I approached the crowded area.

Speaking of trackstands. Going home last Friday I was cruisiing along with a racer looking guy that was obviously on a recovery ride. We barely missed a light that has a notoriously long cycle. So i'm standing there right foot on the ground and this dude was doing a trackstand perfectly still, no wobbles or anything. I'm staring at this guy, admittedly fairly impressed, and look to my right and there was a couple waiting for the walk signal looking at this guy. They look at me and kind of give me a look of "Well, how about you?" I just said, "I'm not in the circus, I can't do that." They laughed and the guy turns to look and laughed as well, mind you, while still remaining perfectly still.
