Fitting...Cleats/Pedals...Fall....Broken....

So I went to the shop last night for a bike fit and to buy the pedals and shoes. I went with the Shimano SPD-SL pedals and Shimano shoes. A good fit for my wide feet, the only other ones to fit me were SIDI's priced 2x what I wanted to spend, so I figured this was a good price point for my first set. The fit went great and I feel that it was money well spent, I learned about proper position and definately felt more comfortable on the bike and that I was getting more power into the pedaling, less pressure on my hands and shoulders.

On the trainer I was doing fine getting into and out of the pedals......THEN.....I took the bike home, and went to a local ballfield to practice getting in and out of the pedals on the grass, so I wouldn't kill myself when I took that fall that I knew I would take. I did, ouch, got back up and was fine. The bike was not so lucky. Back to the shop tonight to have some piece replaced that holds the saddle on the tube. Not sure what it is, and hopefully not too expensive. My log may show an off day but it's good to know that it was productive.
