Face Plant Posted December 8, 2010 Share i was thinking earlier that this has to be something that everybody has encounted atleast once! maybe standing on the start line of a race? maybe at a stop street? ive had two lets call them laydowns from not clipping out in time, what about you guys?

Tumbleweed Posted December 8, 2010 Share I did that in full view of a hub ride at NF last year. My excuse was that my ankles were still weak from an accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hboli4 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Had one when I was just getting used to cleats, lay down in front of the gate to the driveway. Mate of mine had a lie down last year on the start line at the OFM Classic. Starter was trying to get everyone going asking which rugby team they supported. He was the only chop chucking both hands in the air(was holding onto me) when shouting Eastern Province!!! Broke the tension (and his ego) for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted December 8, 2010 Share Was offered a spin on a R80k+ mtb, full carbon with a carbon saddle and all the bells and whistles to get a feel how the extra 50k and carbon compared to my alloy version. I run Times and this bike had egg-beaters. No problem, just a light spin and wont clip in. Lo and behold my cleats wedged into the pedals and as I rolled back to the nervous owner I just stopped and fell over. Managed to fall on my body to save all the plastic. So, so ungraceful and embarrasing. Made a hasty run for my car and the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariusL Posted December 8, 2010 Share I can do a track stand... for long... I don't need to unclip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodTi Posted December 8, 2010 Share 2 or three times... Â Amazing how the absence of pain experienced after/as a result of the fall, is directly proportionate to how stoopid/emabarrassing the reason for the fall was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
