Funny. It was crazy. There is not a scratch on my body and the bike is fine. I had to ride it about 2 miles to get back to the car.i was riding in a group and came upon a water meter access point that had no cover. I moved to the right and the rider in front of me was going much slower than everyone else. I hit the brakes and tried to go around, but hit a sandy patch. I fell over, slid. The handle bar went into my chest and my shoulder slid into the curb. The group has some medical types. The did a quick evaluation making sure there were no broken bones and that I didn’t suffer a concussion when I hit the curb.
The gal in back of me said I did a nice job with the fall, rolling nicely. But lying on my back in the middle of 24th St. N., the biggest injury was to my self esteem.
