Well, it's not me this time....
My wife and I went to Downsview Park last night for Movies Under the Stars,
a free summer movies in the park deal they do in a large field. Downsview Park (Parc Downsview in French) is a former military base, that is now an urban park. They were playing Hotel for Dogs, cute movie, I liked it, glad I didn't spend $40 on it though.... :D
So areas of the field it plays on, due to the recent very wet weather, were heavily rutted, probably from heavy maintenance vehicles. We both have lights, so riding home after dark isn't an issue. As we were about to leave, I said to her, walk your bike until you get to the paved road. Of course she didn't listen to me, and hopped on, only to hit those ruts in the dark, and fall over. A scrapped knee and bruised elbow were the only injuries. She did get back on and ride home though, got her cleaned up, and although sore today, hope she gets back on in a day or two. I need to go over her bike looking for damage (other then a broken mirror) first.
