SPD moments

We thought it might be interesting to keep a tally of unusual dismounts from our bikes due to SPDs, and other moments of comedy during our training.

(For those of you who don't know what an SPD is - it's the little clip that keeps your cycling shoe attached to your pedal. You turn your foot outwards to unclip before you stop the bike.)

SPD - Tally so far

So far, George and Steve are level-pegging with two comedy dismounts a piece. It's debatable who is in the lead: George with one fall into oncoming traffic outside his house after a 20 mile training ride, plus another slow motion fall into a grass ditch in Cambridgeshire. Or Steve, with an unexplained fall at the bottom of a hill on the very first group training ride, plus another on a canal tow path (fortunately not into the canal itself).



Stu, Adrian and Paul have yet to experience free-falling at a 90 degree angle towards the ground.



But we've no doubt that they will. Eventually.
