I didn't bias the poll by voting either. I don't ride with clipless pedals. But I found a novel way to fall anyways.

I was riding around one of the shared walking/cycling tracks around here and, whilst travelling around a small lake saw a short, sagging wooden suspension bridge that looked kinda interesting. So me being me I decided to try it out. Mistake!

I musta looked kinda silly, laying flat on my back amidst a cobbled artificial creek bed still hanging onto the bike and loudly exclaiming "YES!" as I punched the air with one fist. But I'd just somersaulted over the side rope, and I was awfully damned pleased that I hadn't scratched, dented or broken the bike. Bruises heal. Scratches, dents and breakeages need to be fixed
