[Heh, heh.. this happens a lot regardless of clips vs. clipless pedals on both bikes and motorcycles. You gotta lean a little towards the leg that's on the ground and put all your weight on it. Or else if have some weight left on the bike and push off it towards the side away from your leg, you're gonna fall over. I've seen a couple of broken-ankles from motorcycles falling on people the same way, can be real dangerous because as your leg gets caught and the bike rolls, it can whip your head over and into the ground really hard.]

Yea, I knew this this before I put the clips on. I usually try to put my foot down flat because the carbon fiber front portion is like a spring. My first experience with this was trying to climb a ladder. LOL. Anyway I raced motorcycles for 8 years, and used a bicycle for cross training. This fact made me falling even funnier to my friends.
I am amazed that the aluminum bottle cage caught the release mechanism and launched a six pount projectile.

[Forgive me if I run too far afield, here, but wouldn't it be cool to get sponsored and have someone design a bike-racing prosthetic? If they can make carbon fiber blades for runners, they should be able to do something for riders.]

Maybe me getting sponsored is too far afield for me. Too old and too slow, but improving. Biking specific prosthetics can be made, but are too costly for me. Para-olympians have them. As far as the runners go, isn't it amazing that they can run within 1 to 2 tenths of a second of the regular olympians bet times. All while running on those kangaroo leg looking prosthetics.
