Hi to all the new ladies!

I'm new here too.

I bit it this past weekend on a paved asphalt bike trail in the park. I was trying to pass a little kid who didn't know the "rules of the road" and was swerving all over the place. I tried to give her a wide berth, and at the last second, she swerved at me. I sacrificed a lot of skin to avoid running into her.

I just saw something the other day about falling and it was something along the lines of: "You can't embarass yourself too badly falling on a bike because we have all done the same thing before." Good point, I thought.
