Did fall a couple of time but my worst was caused by a pedestrian. Was approaching a local trail on a cycle path (parallel to a heavy traffic main road). So yeah i saw 3 chicks walking towards me, i was riding at a pretty high speed. They were on the pedestrian path side of the road. So one just looses her balance for a sec and suddenly she was right in front of me and despite heavy braking our shoulders met and bang i was OTB. For some reason I realized if i dont get hold on something i will end up falling into the traffic which made me grab a small tree on the side of the path. I still beleive that to be the right move but the bark of the tree cut my arms so badly ambulance had to be called. They cleaned the wounds and git stitches.. People to this day think im suicidal because of the scabs.

And this was the lesson that taught me, just because a pedestrian looks like to be turning right, doesnt necesserily mean he/she is in fact turning left.
