So I tried my clipless pedals for the first time this weekend. Other than still getting used to clipping in, it has been no problem. Rode a little on the weekend, then rode in to work and home yesterday, no problem. Rode in today came to a red light. I was crossing in front of the stopped cars to get to the left turn lane and stopped. Forgot to unclip.
It's amazing how slow you fall over. My thought process was something like:
Oh crap! I'm going to fall over...
<frantic attemt to unclip>
Yep I'm falling over...
I'm still falling over...
Where's the ground?...
<thud>
Oh, Hi ground.
Nothing hurt but my pride.
