The first/many time(s) your new/old bike falls to the ground

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yup right after I attached the lock and stood up my helmet hit the handlebars and made it fall straight to the pavement and hard. landed on the drive train side as well

I hated dropping my old mtb that has a ton of miles and I REALLY hate dropping low mile road bikes
