Sorry about your injury and hope you recover soon. I applaud you for getting back in the "saddle" and keep trying the clipless pedals. I switched to clipless last year and never looked back. I've had 2 zero mph falls. Once was a panic stop and I just didn't come out of the pedals. The second time, my brain was somewhere else and well, I just fell over, LOL. I didn't break anything, just my pride and some road rash where I got scraped.

Anyway, you mention that you have Frogs. Have you given them a go? I run Frogs on all my "road" bikes. I don't care what the roadies think. I wear Shimano touring shoes even on my Madone. I get looks, but who cares? I keep up just fine. I can even walk in my shoes. I find the frogs easier to get in an out of than the road version of the speed plays.

We just got my husband a road bike and I refuse to get him in clipless pedals. He doesn't want to do it and I don't want to force him to it. I would feel horrible if he fell and injured himself. He just wants to ride and not think about it. He does just fine on the flat pedals and if he's happy, that suits me just fine. Maybe you should stick to flats so that you don't get injured. Remember biking should be fun and not injure yourself :-).
