i, uh, fell the other day, though. i had just finished a morning ride, stopped at peets for a small coffee to drink on the way home. drank most of it fine cruising slowly down the street. once i finished it, i stopped on a corner that had a trash can. unclipped my right foot, put it down on the curb, leaned over to throw the cup into the trash can, and i guess when i pushed back up i used too much force and i started to go down the other way, to my left. i still don't have the 'twist your foot cuz yer gonna fall' reflex down and *blam*, fell right over on solano avenue. fortunately it was only like 6:30am so there was no one around to see my idiocy.

scraped my left knee, left elbow, cut the underside of my left middle finger, and somehow put a gash into my right shin. i plan to be more careful.
