Note to cyclists: After swapping a tube and reinstalling your rear wheel, make sure your chain is seated in the sprockets before you take off, or this may happen to you:

Heh...and you weren't going 45 when you fell...nor was I the time I fell whilst on my mountain bike. I think I was going 0mph, in fact. Wink

I can safely say that you were going 0 mph after your fall.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

I did a little over a week ago - my knee was not pretty afterwards. I swear the sidewalk reached out and grabbed my foot. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Mike, I'm honestly amazed that I haven't fallen (yet). Even this Winter I managed to stay upright--though I had some REALLY close calls on some icy-as-heck (I'd say Hell, but it was too cold to be Hell) roads. I'm SO not graceful, either. k

modified to add...oh, and always be sure to surround yourself with idiots carrying camera phones to "capture that magic moment" .... That's not poison ivy, is it? I fell last time I tried to do a track stand on my fixie... Sad

zz, you are tempting fate with that statement, even with the knock on wood. Shocked

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
