Bikes: I have five of brikes

my crashes over the past several years (in order of severity):

  • got hit by a bus that blew a stop sign - minor fractures, deep cuts, and bruises, bike totaled
  • went down on a patch of ice - i was riding with studded tires, but still went down (they were over-inflated), messed up my wrist, was off the bike for several weeks
  • got cut off and run into the curb by an a-hole cab driver - big gash in my chin, minor road rash, bike ok
  • hit a racoon late at night - kinda rolled with the fall, minor road rash and bruises, big scratch on the bike frame
  • collided with no-look u-turn jogger on MUP - fortunately fell into a deep snow bank, body and bike all good
