Oy--first big fall :(

[teawoman]

So sorry to hear about your fall. What kind of bike do you have? I had a Giant OCR 1 that had braking problems. I found out later that that was a noted weakness in the OCR 1's (http://www.bicycling.com/biketown/Giant_OCR.html). We changed out the pads, but still was not that responsive and slow to stop. My DH kept telling me it was me and not the bike until I found the Bicycling review on the web. I ended up selling the bike and bought a Specialized Ruby Expert. I loved everything about my Giant except the brakes

Yup, it's an OCR1. That makes me feel a bit better And I do love it .

For those who asked how the bike is, it looks ok...I walked alongside it after the fall and the rear wheel seemed to be sticky...I will take it in to my LBS to have it checked out, but I have to wait for friends to help me lift the bike on and off the rack because I can't lift much at the moment...

Thank you so much for all the good wishes.
