Cruised by REI Fairfax today, what a mob scene. "Biggest sale of the year" was packing them in. Line fully across the store, though they are very quick at processing transactions. 20% off one item!
But I digress.
Finally cracked open the dividend and bought a pair of Look pedals and Shimano shoes for my road bike. I woold never have guessed the French were so bad at translating to English (Look instruction manual) but eventually figured it out, and went for a short ride in the neighborhood.
It then dawned on me that I had never learned to exit the clips.
But being a man of considerable intellect, I simply cruised onto my soft green lawn, then gave a mighty tug, congratulating myself on my foresight.
Unfortunately, I failed to factor in the Adirondack chairs to my left and so the only way to fall once I realized I wasn't escaping the clips was to the right, onto my blacktop driveway.
I immediately took stock of the situation, and gratefully nobody saw me fall.
Eventually I extricated myself from the predicament (took the shoes off my feet)
and set about solving the riddle.
At the risk of Coladaring the thread, let's just say I figured it out and successfully made another test run.
