Went Clipless today. Fell over first ride.

Well I went clipless today after always using toe clips. First ride trying out some shoes, I pulled back up to the door at the bike shop. Didn't think to unclip fell right over like a tree being chopped down. If I would have moved another two feet I could have caught myself on the building... The guy in the shop turned around and said "Oh man sorry" I forgot to tell you unclip as you are slowing down. Well to make me fell better an old guy decked out in gear riding a carbon trek smiled and said "hey man don't worry I fell the first time I used them also." That did make me feel better.

Anyway I ended up getting some Shimano pedals and nike shoes with SPD cleets. So far I Am really enjoying them other than my sore hand from braking my fall. I really like spinning in these as I can feel its really working my legs in new ways.
