From: 700 Ft. above sea level.

Bikes: Not as many as there were awhile ago.

3 weeks ago on, or rather "off", my Fuji Espree. I had just finished several updates and was heading out for a short test ride. I was wearing jeans, no helmet, and just got to the end of my driveway before deciding I needed to lower the saddle. I swung my leg over the saddle to dismount as I applied the brakes. My jeans hung up on the nose of the saddle causing me to grab the front brake lever harder than intended locking the front brake. I did kind of a barrel roll end over combination and hit the sidewalk pretty hard. Totally my fault and of course there were plenty of witnesses, not one of which stopped to see of I was OK. Bumped my head, crank hit my thigh very hard causing a big knot and a bruise in the shape of a ring.
