Subject: First Fall Accomplished! Today I took my bike out for the first time - I figured it was time to get outside and off the trainer. With the WA weather finally cooperating, it was the perfect day. Not only is this my first road bike, but also my first time in clip-in pedals. The fall happened after I was at a stop and my left foot was still clipped in. Somehow when I went to unclip, I fell over...it was in such slow motion, but happened so fast at the same time. I got up, my boyfried was pretty worried since my left leg bent weird, so weird I looked like a doll...my leg is pretty sore and I have a little bit of pain in my knee, but I survived and did GREAT on the way back. I know this won't be my first fall, I am just glad to have the first one done. |
