Having no time to correct the issue, I rolled on my back and ended with the bike wheels facing up. With exception to a bruised ego, nothing else was harmed. As a crowd was quickly gathering to see if I was okay, the only thing I could think to say was; "And this ladies and gentlemen is how you should not dismount your bicycle."
