First time falling off the bike :(

Well I've not fallen off yet (on the road bike :oops: ) and I don't mind telling you I don't fancy it at all!
I've been working on the principal that it will never happen, in the hope that if and when it does I won't be expecting it until it's too late.0 -
Haha! Thanks for the laugh, especially re knowing what it feels like now. I do have a pic taken a few minutes after it happened but as it shows exactly how pathetic my injuries were I'm not sharing. :P0

Still boggling at the injustice... When I texted missus about my off, she didn't pick it up till 20 days later...
Not only did he come out to rescue me, but later on that evening I realised I'd lost the cap off the end of my handlebar. It was the original one with the Whyte stag-head logo. I was gutted and MrTeapot went back out there in the dark and found it for me at the side of the road.

When most people talk abut safety gear they say "helmet". I say "helmetandgloves".
Gloves have saved my hands from a skinning more than once. Hand injuries are really painful, disabling and slow to heal and most of the injury is preventable.0 -
Agreed, my injuries would have been a lot worse if my gloves hadn't taken the first hit...
@pt... I think this was a phone issue, or so she tells me! And she did have to drive over 100 miles round trip after a days teaching to visit me and take my bike home, and the next day to take me home, so I can't really complain can I! And the hospital did put an identity wrist tag on my bike and stored it safely in a cupboard for me... So bless them all...0 -

It was only an Orbea - I mean the identity tag was so that they made sure you were going to get the bloody thing back and not some other poor basket.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
