Fifty Plus (50+) - Fell off my bike again, I'm delighted to say

Delighted - 'cos I bounced back up, brushed myself off and looked around wondering if I had to say 'I meant to do that'! (The last time I fell off, the result was unreasonable in proportion to the event!)

The cause this time, pure operator error. Nice weekend morning, 5 of us, 4 wanted to take a little loop, I was feeling good and wanted to ride a little longer. I reached the agreed coffee stop after about another 45 minutes. Rolled up, no sign of other bikes. Rolled a little closer - 'is that Mark's bike round the side, lets roll a little closer, are the others there too, let's roll a little closer, yes it looks like everyone's here, oh goodness there's the curb right in front of me and I'm still clipped, a bit late for an unclip, oh oh now I'm stopped, good trackstand though I say it myself, try to rotate the ankle, no, not working, I think I'll topple gracefully to the floor'

That's how it should be done! (Didn't pass unnoticed, though)

. . . topple gracefully . . .

Please post lessons on accomplishing the gracefully part of the maneuver.

This fall did seem to leave you better off than the last one. Does this mean you're getting better at it?

What do they say about a good landing? One you can walk away from. Keep the sense of humor.

They say Practice makes Perfect. Except you still have to find the Offduty Nurses that rush to your aid.

Stay loose and roll with it. I did it last week into a flower bed full of ivy, but I was only moving about 1mph. No offduty nurses rushed to my aid, darnit. Guess I was not close enough to a hospital.

Glad you weren't injured. I hope that we all never get to the point of becoming good at falling!

I didn't know that we needed to renew our membership in Club Tombay on a regular basis!:)
