When tire meets ridge ...
316/365 - Well, I can check another thing off the Things I've Done in Lfe list - go ass over handlebars on my bike. I'll also add it to the list of Things I Don't Want To Do Again list. I was going from the street to the sidewalk as the bike lane had run out and there was not a smooth surface, there was a definitive hard straight ridge that caught the edge of my tire and that was all she wrote.
As I fell I heard a woman across the street scream OH MY GOD as she watched me fall. I have to say though I came through it fairly well. My knees are scuffed up and swelling as I type but aside from a very minor scrape on my shoulder, I'm... fine. Thankfully I did not have my camera with me otherwise it would have been totally in pieces as I think I rolled over on my back (my camelback filled with water was a nice cushion for my spine).
This is my post shower picture of the worst of it, not really that bad at all although going up and down stairs is a bit uncomfortable to say the least.
