I like most people appreciate an audience when I perform!
I have ridden my bike about 28000 km since 1988. I average over 1000 km per summer.
With 28000 km there are chances for an accident or two. I've had some. I only had one major accident and that was only a very bad bruise and lots of road rash.
A few nights ago I had a small tumble( more like stumble) on my bike. No harm was done... two little road rashes.
I was using a cross walk to get to the traffic light where I could press the button for a walk light that would let me cross the street safely. Cars are in the process of making a right turn when you're in the little cross walk. I had checked for cars and I didn't see anybody I thought was making a right turn. When I was crossing I saw a vehicle making the right turn and I didn't think it was going to stop. I took evasive action which turned out to be awkward and down I went.
My fall must have been interesting to say the least as two cars stopped to ask if I was okay and two cyclists stopped as well. So I drew a crowd.
Now what I'm really pleased about is that four people stopped to see if I was all right. I appreciate their caring and concern. I feel better about this place that people do care. I just wish the first car that blew by making the right turn had stopped. I would have had some things to say to him/her!
I also look back and think how fortunate I've been doing something I really like and being safe.
Now this is one that I don't have any pictures of.
Some blogger comments recently were about laughing when some one falls. I'm sure they would have laughed at me when I fell the other night.
