Maybe my third ride with clipless I was starting to feel good, rode up on a fairly technical section that was new to me so I paused to take a look. To be efficient I decided to not unclip and rode up to a tree probably 6 inches in diameter and grabbed on to support myself. Crack. The tree snapped off at the base and I tumbled down the side of the hill with the tree. Didn’t hear anyone belt out in laughter so I don’t think anyone saw it.
Ever since no problems though, I think I used to spend more time worrying about getting my feet back on the platforms than I worry about getting out of my clipless.
