Thank you Colin still itching but I did laugh couldn't get my left foot of the pedal in timeWell, at least you had a soft landing!
Welcome to CC, Caroline!
I got (literally) knocked off a farm track by an impatient van driver a few years back and ended up in a pile of nettles. The one consolation was that the big metal bar end on the RHS of my handlebars gouged right down the side of the new-looking van - hah! (I came back down that farm track later and spotted the van. I checked and there was a deep scratch about 4 feet long on the side of it.)Thank you Colin still itching but I did laugh couldn't get my left foot of the pedal in time
I'd stopped too chat too another cyclist and had one foot on the floor then hey presto I just overbalanced nothing I could do apart from laugh and accept a friendly hand up from the guyI got (literally) knocked off a farm track by an impatient van driver a few years back and ended up in a pile of nettles.

If you were clipped onto the pedal and struggled to unclip, make sure you set your release tensions on both pedals as low as they will go - it makes unclipping much easier. (If they are double-sided, make extra sure to do both sides of both pedals - I missed one side once and got my foot stuck on the pedal.)
