The bicycle shoes we wear have little metal things on the bottom that fasten onto the pedal of the bicycle. They keep your feet from moving around on the pedal and they allow you to pull up on the pedal as well as push down, a very handy devise. You free your shoe from the pedal by twisting your foot and it causes the release. Sometimes if you forget to do the little release thing when you come to a stop you will just fall over because you can’t get your foot free to put on the ground. I have fallen over on numerous occasions, and it is always a plus if no one sees me. One time I was riding along on a trip and I saw a bungee cord laying on the ground so I stopped to get it but ai was so focused on getting the bungee cord that I forgot all about disconnecting, and I fell right over. As I lay there on the ground I thought “well, at least no one saw me”, then I looked over to the other side of the road and saw an older couple sitting in a pickup laughing hysterically. Yesterday on our ride we had to cross a major highway with lots of traffic. John and I crossed over first and then Richard headed across, and as he got to our side he hit the rumble strip and lost his balance and went to put his foot down but was still locked in and over he went.  We helped him up and got the bike up, and then I asked Richard if he would mind laying back down under his bike so I could take his picture for my blog, and then started laughing hysterically, I couldn’t help it. He wouldn’t pose for my picture . This morning as we took off we were on grass where we had camped, and it was hard to get rolling so I shifted down into the lowest gear and the chain came off. I instantly lost all forward movement and over I went. You guessed it, Richard and John both started laughing and Richard asked if I would lay back down so he could take my picture. Our wives were all very concerned about whether I was hurt and were not happy with the way we laughed at each other at times like this. A guy thing I guess. If Richard or John fall over again I will get a picture quick before they can get up, and I will put it on my blog for you to see,  then I will laugh. We rode 87 miles today in very nice weather and are camped at a nice campground at New Waverly, Texas. Tomorrow we are scheduled to ride 72 miles.
