Oh man what a morning.

Today I was turning onto the on-ramp onto the Brooklyn Bridge (heading into Manhattan) - if anyone knows this spot you know that the curb is perpendicular to the path, so you have to do a 90 degree turn there... as I was turning on another cyclist was coming right towards me. There is just enough space if you are passing side by side but that turn makes it tricky - he was in the center of the bike lane which is about where I had come on... I swerved to the right to avoid him, he managed to avoid falling but I was clipped in - I tipped over to the right, CRASH, and the worst part was my body has too much momentum so I kept tumbling and the back of my head smashed against the concrete barrier. I'm fine though - THANK GOD I wear a helmet everyday! The impact really could have caused some damage otherwise. I am so so so thankful about the helmet you have no idea. I was totally shaken up but all I have right now is a few scrapes and bruises.

Whew. I've had a few other falls but none of them involved another cyclist. I'm glad nothing happened to him or anyone else.
