Have you guys ever seen the movie 40 year old virgin? if you have you might remember a scene where Steve Carell falls off his bike on sewer lid, well i witness something similar the other day i decided to ride my way to work and there is a street that has a big sewer cover with metal bars that leave open spaces between them. It is well known to all local cyclists that you have to mount the curve on that turn so I was cruising on the sidewalk and I see this dude coming at a sort of high speed coming towards the sewer lid, at first I thought that he was going to mount the sidewalk but he kept going straight then i realize that the guy was talking on the phone with one of those Bluetooth devices, before I could do anything to warn him the guy got his front wheel into the sewer lid and got face-planted on the ground and kind off flip over ending on his back. Now I know a fall like that can be very dangerous and should not be something to laugh about but honestly it looked pretty funny and I couldn't help to giggle a little, so I go an check on the guy to see if he's OK fortunately for him he was wearing all his safety equipment and the helmet took most of the hit, his bike got messed up of course but nothing serious happened to him he even laugh about it later on and that's an experience that I will never forget.

PD: Be careful when your riding don't talk on the phone while riding the consequences can be fatal take care out there and be safe!
