Yes, I fell off the first time...
...I'd just taken delivery of a Rockhopper Pro, and I was cycling the whole of the SouthDownsWay in a day.
So I leave at 6am... and 100 yards later, realise that I need to check the map.
I slowed down, and forgot that I was clipped in. I fell over onto a kerb, which hit my hip. My right leg was stung all-over by nettles.
Needless to day, it never happened again!!!
PS My hip hasn't quite been the same since.
