(that's just funny, I can't stop giggling) Seriously though, I'm not "advanced" enough yet to have the pedals & shoes, but I hope that when I finally upgrade, I don't fall over too!

Everyone falls once. It is part of the initiation process. Fortunately, the fall occurs when you are stopped, so nothing except the pride gets hurt.
