My first experience with clippless pedals. I was riding with a new riding partner (second ride) with a new bike (third ride) on the Schuylkill River Trail. We were to meet her long time friend at Valley Forge.
I was keeping up with her quite nicely, as we neared the area where her friend was waiting for us, down-shifting to a lower gear, I was feeling confident with myself. I twisted my right foot out of the pedal, came to a nice slow stop when I leaned to the left.... Down I went, crashing down to the ground. I laughed it off, extending my hand to Dave introducing myself. I don't think he will forget me any tine soon. You know... first impressions. :-) I'm still learning, hope not to fall again. Knocks wood!!
