Umm ...

I was putting my drop bar back on and forgot to put on my brakes. There is 3-4 feet wide walkway between the community garage and my apartment building. And, I was testing my bike setup (bar height and all) going up and down the narrow walkway.

I somehow got close enough to the garage wall and I am a noob so I decided to brake. ... Nothing happened. The garage wall was corrugated metal so I thought it better to slide/grind on it. ... Boy was I wrong!

You see when you build a garage out of corrugated sheet metals, you use nuts and bolts. I rammed into the protruding bolts. I dodged one but ate two. One on my shoulder and one really close to my left eye. ... Someone was watching over me on that one. ... I m never doing that again!
