Thread Name: BS: I fell off my bike:-(
Subject: RE: BS: I fell of my bike:-(
Feel better, Dave. A few weeks ago I was coming down a short stretch of sidewalk after a long ride and a generation z'er came toward me with his arms laying across the handlebars cradling his smart phone, ear buds in and totally oblivious. When I was almost even with him he swerved toward me and I left the pavement to avoid him and my wheel caught in the indent between the turf and the sidewalk and over I went. Luckily I came away with just a badly skinned knee and no visible damage to my bike while the dude just rolled on past without looking up. I forgot one my basic rules of cycling, "Everyone is out to get you."
