Ouch

Just a note, since I have not much else new to report on:

Biking home from urgent care in the dark (albeit with a bike light) + very klutzy, oblivious (most of the time) girl + EXTREMELY LARGE pile of raked leaves in the road = ..... (I think you can figure it out).

At least I didn't tear a hole in the knee of my pants. I also got a lot of sympathy from a pedestrian walking her little dog. My shoulder HURTS, though!

This makes only one fall off this bike. My last prior run-in with a stationary object included running into (at very low speed) a trash can in the bike lane (also in the dark).

Why do people do this to me??! :)

poor tara!

maybe you need a brighter light?? :-) glad you weren't hurt too bad.

Wendi Kitsteiner said...

I'm not optimistic that the brighter light would help.

LOL.
