Took a spill on my way home from school. A truck pulled out of a side street right in front of me, even though i saw the driver check both ways. Normally i pay attention in such situations and would've stopped on time, but at that moment i was taking a sip from my water bottle, and when the truck pulled out i automatically grabbed the front brake and lost balance with just one hand. A few scratches on me, and a bent front wheel on the bike, nothing else. I will try to remember never to apply front brake without both hands on the bars, and to drink water only when i know it will be safe.
