Had my first ever spill due to streetcar tracks today, only a matter of time I guess. Was going to the left side and left lane of a right-turning truck and had to negotiate three-directions of tracks (heading East on King at Bathurst) and did a slip-slop-slip-bam onto the floor, luckily traffic was *just* starting, so I got up, waved a "oops, sorry!" to the cars behind me and got the hell across the lights (with a "well that shortcut didn't work out" muttered under my breath toward the other cyclists present - nobody asked me once if I was OK, incidentally). Little blood drawn, just some surface scratches really - I was only bummed not to have many people in the office so I could tell them my war story
Good ride though, felt cool but humid out there.
