It came pretty natural to me. My first time (only time) to fall was on my mountain bike as I had no road bike at the time. I had just put my eggbeaters on the day before so this was my first ride of any distance with clipless. So I'm riding through some trails here in Memphis and I come to a real tight u turn around a fence line. As I ride up to the end of the fence I look ahead and right in the path is about a 5 foot snake sunning himself in my path. In that split second I consider trying to jump him, run over him or try to stop in time. First day with the clipless so probably not a good idea to practice jumping and running over him might get me bit. So I brake as hard as I can, come to a stop and slowly fall right over. Thud. About 5 feet from the snake. Well he just slithers away and all I can do is laugh and thank God noone else was around to see my graceful fall. Since then I've had maybe a couple of close calls on the trails but none on the road bike.
