I hear ya on the low speed falls. When I was new to my clip in pedals I fell on the same butt cheek about four times when running out of steam going up a hill. The last time was on a boulder and holy hell it hurt. The kind of hurt that just pisses you off so bad you want to just throw in the towel and call it a day. My arse was black and blue for weeks after. I hated those pedals so much. I still have some fails going uphill with them but now I’ve gotten better at falling haha. One time it almost sent me off the side of a mountain, but I grabbed a big bush and just hung off the side for a little while. That one could’ve been bad.
