Been riding clipless for everything but popping down the shops for nearly 13 years now. Don't try your first few rides with heavy panniers or the fall sideways is inevitable each time you stop. 6' 7" of angry bloke is quite an impressive* sight to see toppling sideways. I did go over the bars on my mtb shortly after. Somehow the bike went over my head with my right foot still attached. I backed off the spring tension a little after that.
