Anybody have gotten to a dead point in the cranks where u can't pedal to the front neither to the back and u are clipped basically stopped and there is nothing else to do more than let it go and fall? :)

It's easier to fall when your unaware.
My first time I went out to test the feel of the clipless pedals out to some hills nearby, then when i came back in my garage i stopped, forgetting i had them on. My 2nd time was with my friend, when we both reached a stop sign, and we waited for cars to clear, but the cars weren't clearing and i was rolling a little too fast so i had to brake right away. I fell. The third time was a disappointment, it was 5 months after i got them. One of my friends told me to drop by her and her other friend at a Library so i did and they came out and rushed toward me, they were in my way so i had to clip out very fast, which was successful, but i leaned the other way and fell. I still believe I'm going to fall over again...especially in windy conditions. |
I had a few close calls, but I have my SPD pedals set at the lightest tension. Maybe that helps.

How did you manage not to fall even once? What's your secret?

I fell into a bush on the ride home after buying them. Someone screamed, asked if I was okay. Another group in a car laughed.
