First fall-down on my new road bike. Coasted up to the red light, unclipped the right foot, then tipped over to the left. You have to twist your foot to unclip, and what the law of gravity wanted was my foot immediately on the ground, which wasn’t going to happen! Kurt hit the pavement. Bike hit Kurt. Ouch. Got back up, remounted, and calmly peddled through the green light.
I’m mounting clipless pedals on my mountain bike this week in preparation for going to Moab. I’ve never used clipless pedals for mountain biking: always used the flat pedals which are much better for outsmarting gravity. Guess we’ll find out who wins!
