Drrrrrrrrrrrrrredge.
Just fitted some SPD pedals to my go-everywhere bike. Have had some fitted to my track bike for some time...I rather predictably fell over on the very first trip home from the bike shop - in the middle of Old Kent Road, no less - despite them being looser than a very loose thing. Have since ridden it around and managed to stay upright.
Spent about 15mins circling around the block getting the tension right and unclipping from various positions throughout the pedal stroke, managed to get by ok....
tl;dr version:
Got clipless pedals, shall fall off tomorrow.
