When I first got my clipless pedals this same thing happened to me, and I didn't manage to clip out on time (the pedals were still a bit stiff, and I hadn't lubricated them). I put the chain back on my bike, got back on, geared down, and ... yes, I did the same thing less than a minute later. I *think* I managed to avoid omitting any "wimpy girlie wails"  I felt very fortunate that no one was around. -- Benjamin Lewis Seeing is deceiving. It's eating that's believing. -- James Thurber |
