    Hi all,

    I'd like to know whether unicyclists commonly wear cycle
    clips. I tuck in my shoelaces, but I don't wear cycle clips
    with long trousers. What is the likelihood of snagging my
    trouser leg and doing a UPD?

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Well, have you ever caught your pants and fallen? That seems
    like it'd answer your question. I catch my pants on my coker
    all the time. I usually just tuck them into my socks. I look
    like a complete fool but I'm no longer falling. I suppose I
    should get some of those wrap things.

    I dont use clips because ive never got my trousers caught in
    the pedals or cranks. The clips are helpfull on a bike
    because of the chain.

    Thank to all who have replied so far.

    In answer to tortoise, I *think* I caught my pants once, but
    the UPD happened so quickly that I wasn't sure exactly what
    caused it. It wasn't my shoelaces, because they were tucked
    in. At any rate, I don't want to base my decisions on
    whether to use safety equipment solely on my personal
    experience. I've never hit my head or fractured my wrist
    (thank God), but that doesn't necessarily mean that I've
    ruled out using a helmet or wrist guards.

    I would appreciate other comments on cycle clips for
    unicyclists.
