I was riding my FG bike around for the first time after building it up and ran into a parked car haha. I had built the bike up myself, so I was just kinda going really slow around the neighborhood. I kept hearing this weird noise coming from my rear cog/chain/hub, so I was looking back there as I was pedaling, trying to see what it was. All of the sudden, I nailed the front bumper of a honda elemnt and went over the bars haha.

The second time I fell on my FG was at the top of a steep hill. I didn't have a brake on and I was trying to slow down before I hit this hill b/c there was a busy intersection at the bottom of it. I got really nervous and tried to turn around and my bike came out from under me. Kind of an awkward fall.
