:D

I was RACING yesturday... trying to beat the delivery guys (who had my new fridge for my new unit) back to my place. I had 20mins and 5 km to to ride... MOSTLY uphill!

Anyhue. I was flying round a cornerat 17k per hour, and came off the footpath onto the dirtpatch infront of McDonalds. BAM!
I crashed over.

But Somehow the adrenalin was pumping... and I ended up on my feet BESIDE the bike whilst still hanging onto the handlebars!

After a few seconds of "BREATHE" I realised that 1: I'd survived my first fall UNINJURED! and 2: The step thru is what probably stopped me from going arse up... I had swung my leg over the front and landed on my feet.

I'm now so GLAD I chose my step thru frame. yet another reason I love my bike :o

LOL - what images

Betcha couldn't coreograph it again!

Pleased your first crash ended in no injury for you or for bike

And I have to ask - did you beat the delivery guys?

HA! HA! That's great! Thank goodness you are OK!!!


Reminds me of when I was 17 and driving my first car- a stick shift. I almost hit someone, and I SLAMMED on my brakes and skidded into the intersection.

My friends in the car were terrified... but I didn't hit anything.

ME? I was CHEERING! "WOW! I didn't even kill the car guys! I was so quick I pushed in the clutch before slamming on the brake!".

Yep, I sure was proud of my fast feet on those pedals!

RoadRaven! Nup, I betcha that's never gonna happen again. I still can't believe I'd landed on my feet. AND YES I beat the delivery guys! I have a FRIDGE now!

Geonz... Umm you know what I'd never tried.
