Not too bad but here goes (I've posted it on BF before). Riding the down twisty, narrow ramp to exit the George Washington Bridge in NYC, I unclipp to make it around the little switchback. I am rolling toward the gate on the last ramp trying to clip in with a badly worn cleat. Ahead of me on the way up is an attractive young lady cyclist in full kit. Now I'm not looking for any attractive young lady cyclists as I happen to be married to one, but the distraction combined with the trouble clipping back in lead me to crash smack into the side of the (open) gate. OTB, over the bars, smack! on my back in front of said young lady. Bruised ego and slightly bruised body accompanied sheared shifter housing.
