Bikes: "Hildy", a Novara Randonee touring bike; a 16-speed Bike Friday Tikit; and a Specialized Stumpjumper frame-based built-up MTB, now serving as the kid-carrier, grocery-getter.
When riding the D&RC towpath with The Historian, I mounted on a slight uphill grade with the bike in a high gear. I got about an inch before tumbling over to the left. I had about an inch of dirty road rash that took 2 months to heal.
