Nice ride in. Clouds to the left, clouds to the right, and only got hit by a few drops. I can handle that.
The other day, Monday, I had my first fall on my commute. While riding past a construction sight I saw a small tanker truck trying to get through a gate, but the gate was swinging closed. So as I see his predicament I swing back to hold the gate for him. So the gate is open, he jumps in his truck and starts to move in, I ride up to the gate, stop, put my foot out to hold the gate, he drives in. Well the gate and the wind pushing it didn't think much of me and proceeded to push me over. But the gate did stop as it wasn't strong enough to slide me across the ground. 0 mph, on the ground with my loaded commuter, driver never sees me. I saved his truck from a nice big dent and scratch. I brushed off the dirt, mounted my steed and rode off into the sunset. A 'Good Samaritians' work is never fully appreciated.
