Had a pretty big one this afternoon. Just coming to the end of my ride, decided to put the power down coming back into town, came up on some slower traffic round a bend. Went to pull a skid, left foot pops out of the pedal, do a massive wobble nearly going down into oncoming traffic, and finally manage to save it sitting on the top tube with right foot still spinning around on the pedals, left leg out at 45 degrees. Still had a fair bit of speed going so I coasted into my road and all the way to my drive in the same position.
Maybe I need some new cleats!
