i went down for the first time while riding fixed (a while now) monday. went to visit a friend at his new house, conveniantly in the excruciatingly non-bike-friendly inner city of allentown, pa. skidded in my normal fashion to a crawl, moved in between parked cars, rolled forward thanks to allentown's mangled city streets, and went straight into the curb, sideways over the bars. couldn't get my left foot out of my clip, which was WAY too loose anyway, go figure. it was a thing of beauty for sure. nothing to do but laugh, really.
