st georges rd @the gwr on ramp (if ur from glasgow ul know it ),i was going slow to time the lights and save me unclipping so obv i left a bit of space , when a volvo of all cars squeezed in to the space and hit the brakes,this was just as the lights went green so if hed have kept rolling even slowly id have been fine,but no ,he stopped and waited for some reason (not anticipating i guess ),couldnt get my feet out in time ,so over i went , TIMBER!!! iv had the clipless on for a few days now and its much better than toeclips but that split second makes a diff .no damage at all ,just banged my knee a bit So if u were pissing urself at some numpty about 20 min ago ,that was me lol :-/
first clipless moment

Welcome to the club my friend the slow ones are the worst. At least you didn't damage frame, rear mech and hanger handlebar tape,and brake hoods like yours truly !

I've not had a moment for a while 
but I'm expecting one with my new'ish lidl shoes and the M424 pedals on the town bike there something catching with that combo and I have to make a very deliberate unclip movent. That's me doomed now 
but I'm expecting one with my new'ish lidl shoes and the M424 pedals on the town bike there something catching with that combo and I have to make a very deliberate unclip movent. That's me doomed now its lidl shoes iv got ,,m520 pedals and on the loosest setting its gen no bother to clip out (multidirectional),but on this occasion i just didnt have time ,he raced into the gap really quickly and hammered on the brakes ,it was all i could do to stop as i couldnt keep rolling up the inside of him due to his road positioning ,,must have looked a total divvie
