I just put them got the right pedal snapped in and discovered that I left the kick stand down. So I did what I always do, lean to the right in order to pop it up and didn't unclip and fell on my side.
So total time in clipless combo before I fell was about 10 seconds. Luckily I didn't hurt myself but I'm a little sore. Wonder how many more times this will happen.
My I say, welcome to the world of clipless and I'm glad to hear that you're all right. Congrats on the weight loss and health improvements as well.
Now, for the fall: If there are no objections, I'm willing to submit your name as a candidate for the Club Tombay hall of fame in the "fastest fall" category. May your name live in infamy in this position of honor. We salute you.
