We have all ...Glad you were not badly hurt Steve...<br />We have all done it. <br />Being left handed I always un-clip left side first, so when I fall it tends to be right side down...luckily I have never caused any major derailleur damage though.<br /><br />-TrevorTrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-19490355587010401042012-06-14T22:08:36.571-05:002012-06-14T22:08:36.571-05:00Falling off a bike sucks!

They're not foolproof, but if neither foot is out you are ready to deploy either one in the event you need to put the landing gear down.cafiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749761363337659545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-10682475432660457522012-06-14T19:20:16.695-05:002012-06-14T19:20:16.695-05:00I fell over once and was so embarrassed.

I thought it was a total newbie thing. then a year later I was at the bike shop and mentioned falling and the bike mechs were all like " Oh I fall over while standing still too". I never felt so validated and ok. This continues to make me feel fuzzy. <br /><br />Glad your hand is ok.MamaVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519007680870604271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-66226670693775211592012-06-13T21:50:20.106-05:002012-06-13T21:50:20.106-05:00Yes, bummer!

In practice, the few times I have gone down, so far always with gloves, I put my hand down, which had the expected result with the wrist, but at least no hand rash.John Romeo Alphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289456379789026152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-30035728418056523492012-06-13T21:14:23.340-05:002012-06-13T21:14:23.340-05:00Bummer man.

There are just those moments when one gets caught off-guard.<br /><br />Glad to hear it wasn't a big deal.Ponderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042079750126434523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-22662326856541800802012-06-13T21:00:37.079-05:002012-06-13T21:00:37.079-05:00I always worry that I'm going to fall over at ...I always worry that I'm going to fall over at a stoplight some day.
