Thing about falls is that the pain catches up to you after a while usually and only then do you discover the huge bruise on your hip like I did.
I've only been out that way a few times on the bike ,and *hate* being on Chester or Woodland or any of those other streets with trolley tracks! must be really fun in the cold rain!! I wonder if you could ride "in" the track?? Going over RR crossings in the rain makes me a bit edgy!
