DaveLeeNC I can relate! After two weeks of riding with my first clipless pedals I fell at a STOP sign. I figured, "well I got that out of my system". WRONG! A week later I was at the Trailhead getting ready to leave for my first group ride and for no apparent reason I flopped over in the parking lot in front of what felt like 10,000 eyes watching. All experienced cyclist.
By the way, I grew up in Bennettsville, S.C. Not too far from you.
