I was looking back to keep track of some cars after a few close passes. Unfortunately I wasn't paying enough attention and the road moves to the left while I continued to ride straight. By the time I realized, my wheels were already sliding parallel against the curb and I was losing balance. Luckily I avoided the pole and falling into traffic.

I broke my helmet camera mount, and my trip computer mount. Besides that, just some road rash and scrapes on the handle bar tape. Enjoy watching me make a fool of myself.
