When I was first learning to ride a bicycle with clipless peddles, I had a pair of Look pedals that should have been called "crash" pedals because that's what I did ALL the time...
I just couldn't get out of them at a stop light/sign (and yes, even back them I STOPPED). Over I would go, in front of cars, pedestrians, etc. Made a complete fool of myself many times.
So I just decided to "roll" with it. I'd hit the ground, get up, take a bow and then pick up the bike and get back on. What can I say - I'm a dork and humor cures or at least helps cover up personal stupidity!
