First accident last night, please tell me I am not the first to do this...

[Rowano]

Brilliant - definitely not the first, won't be the last. But not many of us who have and will done this post footage

A “clipless moment”. Yes, you’re the first person to ever achieve this

 

[fossyant]

It's your first topple, won't be the last.

 

[JtB]

So were you hoping by any chance that nobody had noticed as you got back up so sharpish?

 

[nickyboy]

I watched it twice cos the swearing was very funny

 

[Edwardoka]

The clipless pratfall is a universal rite of passage.
Mine happened here, at an extremely busy roundabout during rush hour.
I'm sure the people behind me got quite a chuckle out of it.

 

[Slioch]

Thanks for the amusing video. It has resurrected memories that I hoped had been buried deep into my subconscious.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Without the swearing you could have stayed down and pretended it was a little rest till the lights turn green.

 

[Saluki]

You cheered my day right up.
Glad you are ok.
Did you do the face?

Oh lordly, you've reminded me bluezelos
When it was new to me, maybe a month in, I rode up to a pelican/zebra crossing, (joint cyclepath/path) stayed clipped in as I leant on the crossing button pole, lost my grip and slid not so gracefully down the metal pole Into a heap. And yes, there were plenty of car drivers to see it. I just climbed up, laughed, shook my head and got back on the bike. What can you do ?

 

[Salty seadog]

Been there done that too, here's the evidence.

Haha, I'm sure you've posted that before. I admire the stoic determination to ride through the whole stretch.

 

[Salty seadog]

Oh yeah, I've not had a clipless moment yet, the closest was track standing to let traffic pass before joining the road, I saved it by bunny hopping on the spot..... Thought I was a gonna for a mo though.

 

[berty bassett]

If it’s any consolation- I will give you 10/10 for speed of recovery
Not quite so many for the track stand though

 

[Milzy]

Ha ha ha Brilliant!!!

One of the reasons I do not want clipless. But clipless is not the only way to achieve it. When ai was 10 years old I caught my flares in the chain. Stationary. Slowly going sideways as Dara O Briain said. Broken wrist. And all you have to do to is backpedal and you are free.
