Hah! That just about describes crash number 2 for me! On a very wide boardwalk/bike path in Florida, a whole family was stretched out taking up the entire path, which must have been a good 15 feet wide. We were headed towards them, single file, clinging to the edge assuming that at some point, they would shift over to let us pass, but nope - they just stared right at us and never moved. To avoid a head on colision with the mother of this crowd, my boyfriend slammed on his brakes, and unfortunately, I didn't hit mine as aggressively, so I did my first crash. Luckily, I didn't really remember how I got over the top of the handlebars, and only had a few scrapes.

I guess I'm not that bad - I only hit telephone poles, fire hydrants and hedges!

(rant coming) And, by the way, what's up with the city of Miami that they can build these great bike paths and bike-legal sidewalks and insist on putting telephone poles and fire hydrants in the middle of them????
