Well yesterday i went and fell off when i was clipped in,i had just finished my ride and stopped at the kerb my left foot was unclipped but for some reason i leaned over to the right, i knew what was coming so made sure the bike fell on top of me lol,as i was getting up a car stopped to see if i was alright but the kids in the back wwere having a right good laugh, hopefully that will be my last but i doubt it.

Welcome to the club. There are only two types of riders, those that have been down and those that are going to go down.

Bad luck mate! I haven't had a 'moment' as yet, but you never know. I hope you weren't too badly hurt.

I had my first clipless (in 8 years) moment last week when I got knocked off by another cyclist during a mass ride to promote cycling... so even if you think you've got away with a 'having a moment' there is always one wafting for you

 

[Roadrider48]

I must admit that I am aware that it is coming one day.

 

[Kies]

Most people have one clipless moment .... Hopefully ticked off now :-)

My mate had his first one on the l2b last weekend, he had his second one about 90 mins later.

Hope you are ok skinnydog.

We've all been there. I once had two in the space of 150m, and other right outside my house when trying to get it to 'click' as I didn't think I was in...I was and then ended up on the mud in a crisp white shirt. Such an idiot

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Easy way to avoid this, ride flats

 

[skinnydog1973]

Dont think i could ever go back to flats would rather fall off again

I joined the club last week on my new road bike. Luckily I had just returned home and it was on my front lawn. Still felt like a huge idiot!

I fell of 3 times during the beginning, nothing more sexy than seeing a man in leotard on his ass with a bike between his legs lol, one time was in front of all my work colleges ...nice
