After my break in period of learning I have not fallen over stopping my bike. I have however fallen. The last time when my ribs were broken (about 2 months ago and still not healed), I pulled up between a car at a stop light and a handicapped ramp on the curb. My plan was to pull up on the sidewalk so I could push the walk signal. Because of the car I came at the ramp at a very shallow angle and I did not see the 1/2 in high lip along the edge of the ramp. My tire caught and I fell. I guarantee you there was no way to rotate my foot and disengage the pedal in that moment while falling.

If Kimme can tell me how to get out of that situation I will be both astounded and pleased.
