Took a spill tonight

Went to come out of the aerobars, up a hill toward a stopsign. My right arm slipped off the armrest, weight went forward, left foot twisted out of the pedal and over I went. Not enough to hurt myself, a little roadrash, cut on the shin, bit of a sore wrist and cracked my cleat. No big deal really except…

A car coming up on me from behind must have been about a 100m behind me when I went down and it took me a minute to get up. Rather stop and see if I’m ok or even slow down, he honks his horn at me and shakes his fist!!! Sorry dude, what was I thinking falling on YOUR road? Oh well what can you do? I didn’t really care that he didn’t stop but honking the horn was a little much. My ego was bruised enough without that.

Nice… what an asshole! When he eventually wraps his car around a lightpole I hope he gets the same kind of treatment.

Glad to hear you’re ok though… Also that you’re back on the bike again!

Biking is good, running is OK. Its the pool I’ve been avoiding. But I’ll start this week, really…I will!

He should have side-swiped you for delaying him that way. What were you thinking man!

That sucks and I’m sorry it happened.

I don’t understand people, but am glad you’re o.k.
