My first time I tried it in the park. Had it on the lowest setting so found it easy to clip in and out.
I normally unclip left foot first, then lean to the left side - this is the same way I've been riding for 2 years with straps.
Thursday was feeling quite confident after a week with the spds, so I decided to unclip right foot first rather than left foot as I usually do. Unclipped fine, then muscle memory kicked in and my body decided to lean to the left and I fell over...
Tried it again on the way home and exactly the same thing happened - stupid muscle memory...
