Ow.
Took a spill off my bike today. No major damage it seems. A couple of skinned knees and a decent bump on my elbow, but everything seems to be in working order.
Entirely my own fault. Broke my cardinal rule and paid the price. Had to stop short and take hard turn, and the bike stalled out and I got dumped. Found myself with my left leg pinned under the bike and right foot jammed in the fronts spokes. Struggled to get it unjammed for a good minute before someone finally got out of their car to help.
I'd say my pride was hurt worse than anything...but no, that fvcking hurt. But I think I'll live. And maybe next time I'm faced with the opportunity to break my cardinal rule for no good reason, the sting of the antiseptic spray will have burned itself into my brain as a warning.
