Ouch, hope you're OK zip. I took a spill and ended up under a parked car last night when the back wheel slipped around on the streetcar track and there was no way I could catch it - was on my hip half under the car before I could do anything. Bad discipline around the tracks, I should've been more careful.

It's shocking that people don't stop. At least 5 people in cars saw me go down and under, but nobody bothered to stop. I saw a girl collecting herself by the side of a streetcar the other night, she'd taken a spill and I offered help - she was fine, though. When I hit the van last week, as well as the driver/passenger not stopping or asking, nobody else other than a security guard crossing the street asked - and this was a loud enough impact to have had people notice... Bah.

Is it that hard for people to care enough to even ask? People suck.
