Today I had my first fixed gear crash.. low speed though, so no major injuries aside from a scraped knee, very sore lower back and most importantly of all... a scorn confidence!

Dunno how it happened, or maybe I do. Just mounted new tires and wanted to testdrive in my work-slip-on shoes and of course had to stand up to gain speed. When I wanted to sit down again the pedals somehow got the best of me and threw me off the bike. Scraped pedal (my new white and was-shiny PD-M530) and one of the handlebar grips. Could have been a lot worse.

Note to self. Put on the SPD shoes no matter how far or short the ride's gonna be!

Grrr....

Edit: Just realised I have dinged and scratched my mint 1988 bell! ARGH!!!
