There I am trying to get my foot out of the clip as I fall over on this brand new bike, on the demo ride. Old lady watching the whole scene. I go back to the shop with a skinned up arm, shin, and pride but thankfully a bike that I didn't have to take home.
Precisely why I ride without clipless pedals. I've never had a problem getting my foot out of a
toeclip though.....was yours tightened up too much?
Its a great feeling to finally get comfortable on a bike and know that you can ride anywhere under your own power and not be so wasted that you need to get a ride home.
