Well speak of the devil. This afternoon i was loafing at the busiest bicycle intersection in the city and saw a slideout.
It was a young guy on a pretty red bike. He was beating the light, to cross on the crosswalk ( the road doesn't cross thru here ), and needed a sharp right turn up the sidewalk ramp. There was a bit of winter road sand, that never goes away totally, around here. So his right hand and hip planted hard, but not much scraping. His derailer took a beating, but he was rolling in 5 minutes. He was wearing sandals and a helmet, but it didn't matter.
