midnight crash
Posted by UMRider on April 14, 2006

I went for a midnight bikeride last night and crashed and hurt myself.

I was on my fixer going down a hill and for some unknown reason I tried to stop pedaling and my foot slipped out of the pedal and went into the front wheel. I flew off my bike and hit the ground. I am very lucky. I wasn’t wearing a helmet and my head only skimmed the ground. It felt like me taking my hand and swiping it across the top of my head. It could have been hit hard.

I’m ok. I’m fully mobile, just scratched up. My bike on the other hand is not. The fork and front wheel are totalled.

Dag, yo! Glad you're alright! I finally decided to get back on a bike a few weeks ago now that my clavicle healed. I was disappointed to find a giant kink in the downtube. There's about 2mm of clearence between the front tire and the tube. I tried to bend it back as best I could, but the tire still hits the toe-clips in turns. Now I only ride in straight lines.

I want to know how many people ran their hand over their head after reading that.
