Love your attitude! Obviously you learn from experience which leads to wisdom.

I'm still unclipping inward which is starting to seriously bug me. Thing is I rarely catch a spoke but when I do it seems I'm next to a cute young lady rider (just the other day) or otherwise in someone's eye. Besides it may be the reason my rear wheel is slightly out of true.
