sorry to hear about your fall. dont know about you. but falling is a big worry of mine. i dont believe i could heal like i once did.

yesterday,i got caught out in the rain and,since rush hour was coming up,i figured i had better try to SPEED UP,Before all of the skyscrapers emptied out.

well i forgot about a big hill on my route and,the water was pooling and,running off to the side and,it was hair raising experience going down the hill. i wanted to hurry down the hill,because i didnt want a car speeding up on me from behind,blinded by the rain. luckily i got thru both left and,right turns without dumping it.

i remembered biking 101,dont grab your front brake going down a hill in the rain. or else. just used my back brake.before the intersection.

but yeah i almost peed my pants going down. i was ready for the impact.
