Glad your injuries werent serious, falls on gravel and hardcore can be nasty!
Were you cycling near a river?
Not quite as crazy but I was cycling along watching an aircraft take off from the airport and had my head turned and was looking right over my shoulder.
There was a dip in the verge and I went over and couldnt get my foot down in time and ended up in a puddle with a load of brambles, ending up with a few cuts but more dented pride lol.
Luckily the police werent passing or a planespotting without due care and attention might have been forthcoming lol.
