Heavy bike, high center of gravity, and a klutz are not a good combination.

Well, for laughs they might be. 
Fell over twice this morning while stopping, first literally 3 feet from the doorway of a Speedway, then when I had to stop for a red light. Didn’t unclip fast enough, and the weight of the bike, 65 lbs, and the battery on the seat tube definitely dragged me over much faster than my light carbon road bike would have. Only hurt my pride of course - and on an early Saturday morning, I had to fall as a busy gas station and busy intersection for maximim visibility.
