My first clip in drama for ages and ages this morning... joined Bridge Road Colinton from the old railway this morning and as I stepped off the junction into the standing traffic I did about one and a half pedal turns before braking to a halt behind a car... hadn't clipped in but out of habit twisted my heel out and lifted my left foot... which must have tucked the elastic from my bootees under/around the front of the spd cleat on the pedal...
bu66er..
A very brief demonstration of my very limited trackstanding skills followed, further hampered by frantically yanking my left leg around before the decision was made that it was time for an embarrasing fall left :-/ at least it presumably gave mr impatient in the white van a laugh. Oh and in case she's on the forum, a big thanks and thumbs up to the lady going the other way who stopped to check I was ok :-)
Ahh well, no obvious damage apart from pride (sigh)
