Was coming up my inclined driveway today, slowing to a stop, when I started talking to my son who was standing there. The distraction made me forget to unclip. I stopped on the slope, couldn't get out fast enough, and down I went. First fall with SPD's.

Another time I came *THIS CLOSE* to losing it on wet railroad tracks, even with 26x1.5 (about like 38c) tires. The whole bike came out from under me, but I was able to catch myself. No SPD's on that bike, just platforms. Another guy in front of me, an extremely experienced rider and bike mechanic, took a full on fall and went all the way to the ground, a split second before I almost fell.
