I fell with my feet still locked in one time, that was enough(knock on wood)!

I was newish to the pedals and was out riding with my wife (then girl friend)
Pulled up to a light and thought I'd be clever and not release from my pedals
and just grab hold of a mail box to steady myself, I did a beautiful job of
managing speed and braking I just sort of hovered for a minute with-out moving
right beside the box. Then with very casual ease I reached out to steady myself
by puttting a hand on the box...
What I got hold of was the Mail Box Door Handle, the door swung down and out ,
and I did too...
I try for Casual Ease no more, if it means getting out of one clip early that is OK now.
