I bought a pair of clipless pedals for my bike a few days ago and put them on yesterday. I've now got a big bruise on my hip, scratched the paint on my bike and a derailuer nocked out of allignment.
Let me explain.
It's my first time using these--once you've clipped into them you have to twist your feet at an unfamiliar angle to get them out. Other than that they work great.
I wound up doing a quick stop and started to cant to my side before I got my foot out. There's nothing like a rush of adrenalin and panic to make you forget everything you practiced about 10 minutes ago /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
About a second later I was lying on my side swearing up a storm and assessing the damage--still trying to get my feet out.
Chalk this one up to inexperience.
Anybody do something like that before?
