Saturday ride with the GF no group, on our way out of town. I'm first to the red light left foot clipped out she coasts up beside me and tips over. I see it coming as she tries to stay upright and try to help so now we look like two dominoes at the head of the intersection.

Now I have a very rigid routine for clipping out and it has served me well. NOW I realize a solid routine works very well in a ROUTINE situation.....and it's usually the non routine situation that gets you all tangled up. My feet sent a really good note to my brain while I was checking for injuries on the curb.

NOTE TO SELF: as my feet said to my brain, "from now on if one clips out, we ALL clip out".

So what's the next lesson we learn the hard way?
