so I was riding on the local paved trail here, as I was coming up the trail there were four kids walking home from the 7-11, I had slowed way down and notified them I was passing on the left, they all move over so that I can pass, as I rolled passed them doing maybe 3 mph (barely faster than a walk) I stepped hard on my crank to get back up to speed, as I step down the chain picks that time to come off the crank, I"m still clipped in and there fore my foot goes down with a fair amount of speed and all of my weight is shifted to the right, next thing I know I'm rolling on the pavement infront of four kids that are all scared at seeing a rather large man do a near summersault while still attached to the bike. My elbow took the brunt of the fall, by the time I got home it was quite a bit larger than a softball. I'm sure that those four kids had a great story for everyone that evening .
