Y'old fate-tempter!

It'll get ya when you least expect it.... drop a chain going slow on a steep uphill, have a WTF?! moment while you process the sudden lack of power to the wheel, and tim-berrrrr! over you go because you can't just stick your leg out. Or some other emergency-save situation where things happen fast and your flat-peddler instincts would've saved you but instead betray you.

What got me was coming up to a stop sign and suddenly realizing I needed to stop, when I hadn't been planning on it. But it healed fast.
