I’m not saying it isn’t an honor to join the club but I wonder about advertising it on a Jersey? My problem would be if it happens while my bike is so new I might sacrifice my body to keep it from getting scratched. The picture would more than likely look like a upside down bicycle with a man lying on his back.

Excellent point!

As you are going down it's important to take a good, firm grip on your handlebar. Otherwise you risk scuffing your handlebar tape. Bodies heal by themselves. Bikes have to be fixed.

Then again, it would make for a good picture.
