well today I had my first REAL accident in my adult life on a bike. I went to a faster paced group ride tonight and went into a corner and it apparently had a little sand or dirt in the corner. The trike drifted through the turn then once it hit clean pavement it flipped. Bike has significant damage. The rear wheel is taco'd and the rear derailluer hanger was twisted off. I was going somewhere around 20-25mph when it happened. Going to start with replacing the rear derailluer hanger and rear wheel. I have 128mm between the rear drop outs and it takes a 130mm rear hub so it looks like the rear may have been tweaked a bit.











It all happened so quick but my helmet took a pretty good hit. I have a headache now and may be a mild concussion. Road Rash on forearms and legs but otherwise ok. I always joked how I thought I was wasting my time with wearing a helmet on a trike but I truly believed it may have saved my life today. It's been a few hours and am naturally getting to be very sore but feel extremely lucky. I was just humiliated for this to happen in front of a new group and don't know if I will be able to bring myself to show up in front of them. I am suppose to ride on Memorial Day guess I'll have to see how sore I am. Really sux because I was planning on riding it Monday but I'll take another bike.
