Hyperextension

Sunday saw my son and me riding around Walkersville. The riding was nice, but I discoverd an issue with my new shoes that I got on Friday. The tread is a harder plastic more like soccer cleats. When I go to clip in on the tandem's pedals with my left foot, it keeps sliding off without clipping in. This was making my foot shoot towards the ground and I hyperextended my left elbow (at least three different times) recovering my balance. It is embarassing to hurt yourself so bad in front of your kid that you almost want to cry. It Hurt! I had to change my habits so I'd clip in my left foot at the stop and then do my right while rolling. No problems that way.
