Well, I'm fairly new to road biking though I've ridden bikes since I was a kid. Anyway I was out at night about two weeks ago and was spinning along pretty good. Unfortunately I didn't see the patch of sand in the corner The wheels went out from under me and down I went. I felt pretty dumb as this is Florida and I know to watch for sand. Anyway the point is we all have bad days. For embarrassment though I don't think any of my crashes beats hitting a garbage can on the boardwalk while watching two scantily clad members of the oppisite sex. I did a full layout right in the middle of the boardwalk! I kind of slunk back to my apartment after that!
