Back in the early 80's I bought a set of the first Look pedals available and promptly "Artied" in my driveway! I ended up on my back, holding my bike up off the concrete, still clipped in. I rode them for a long time and got used to them to the point that the muscle memory was fully operational. I stopped riding for several years and recently took the bike down and fitted it with Speedplays. I promptly "Artied" at an intersection with a grandma in a big van very attentively stopping well behind me as I tried to unclip and stand up. The muscle memory for the Looks doesn't work for the Speedplays, so I've spent the last couple of rides cruising the neighborhood, clipping in and out and practicing stops and starts. From the sound of things, I guess I have a couple more "Arties" to go through before I can stop keeling over. Thanks to all for posting such funny stories!
