I lowsided shortly after I resumed bicycling next to a grade school one day. It was wet out, and I wash thinking about how my motorcycle handled much better in the wet when I went down onto the grass outside the classrooms. I was able to get up and keep riding until I figured I was out of sight to start cursing my stupidity.
