Pretty good ride this morning except for an embarrasing incident. I was sitting at a light next to a bus and decided I wanted to shift down just as I was coming to a stop to try and balance at the light. Of course as I shifted to the smaller chainring I forgot that the chain usually comes off if I shift all the way. Well of course, it is even more difficult to balance with shoes clipped in when your chain is off the chainring and I was not up to the challange. I fell over before I could get a foot out. The bus driver just ignored me but I just know everyone in the bus found it highly entertaining. I got a small rasberry on my hip for the trouble so i don't even have a grand injury to show off! Well, anyway, nothing serious, just kind of funny. Kind of a chilly morning starting out. (I am still getting used to clipless pedals apparently).
