yikes glad you're OK! RR tracks are always tricky.... out here they use this weird rubber substance to either side of the trolley tracks that may as well be ICE! UGH!

and I agree about the jealous co-workers... riding is NOT age/height/weight exclusive! My mom is 64 and just got her first comfort bike... she hasn't ridden in almost 50 yrs so I am still running along next to her yelling, "Put your feet down! " when she stops cause she forgets and tips over...
