Sometimes the only way is down.

Trying out some new cleats today out on a ride during what is currently a mini-May heatwave, just doing it you know, just riding. Anyway I had not compensated for the concentration level involved in extracting my foot from the pedal and so I just fell to the left and hit the dirt when considering a scenic stop. Luckily I did not fall into traffic, luckily for my pride there was no traffic and hopefully no witnesses. Maybe I’ll check YouTube though later just in case.
