A week or so ago I installed a new crankset and derailleur on my bike. Hadn't quite worked all the kinks in the shifting out yet and was messing around with the cable tension on the barrel adjusters. I was looking down at the derailleur just coasting along about to stop to check it out because it sounded like something was rubbing a bit. I had unclipped but I came to kind of a slight hill that I wasn't paying attention to and stopped sooner than I had thought I would.

I ended up tilting a bit right (toward the remaining clipped in foot) and I knew I was going down. All I could think about was the bike! So as I hit the ground I pulled it up ontop of me. Not a scratch on it! Not even the pedals hit! (Though they are scratched up anyway so it wouldn't have mattered).

Bike is pretty new by the way. Only had it a couple months. Thus the protectiveness.
