I had a bit of a wipe-out on my commute today. It was my fault. I was riding on the sidewalk on a main road (where cars are going 50 - 60mph) that I had to take to cut off about six or seven miles off the commute. Well, there were three girls walking my way that didn't seem to give me any space to pass, so when we got at a crossing I swerved around them. Where I hit some sand and gravel and took a bit of a slide.

The girls turned around and ran to me asking "Oh my god! Are you okay?!"

I just got up surprised and said "I hope my bike's okay!"

Then they walked off and continued to be in awe and hoped that I was okay.

Pretty disappointed in myself for being impatient in passing them. Bike received a few scratches, and the left pedal is pretty much torn up. (I just bought this bike on Saturday, by the way). And my favorite pants got torn up along with my palms and forearm.

My mistake though. I'll learn for it. Still can't wait to ride to work tomorrow though!
