At your rate, it might not come soon enough.

Please tell me you have a helmet and brakes.

He doesn't need brakes. He just falls down to stop.

EDIT! I keed, I keed.

Get a trike.

So go fast, pay attention, and don't **** around!

anyone else think it's funny that he sucks as bad at riding as he does at the internet?

ha htis thread is too appropriate: i got cut off the gas budget (yes i am a teenager) so i rode my fixie to school for the first time today and what do you know... I pedal strike on a corner and totally biff it. only damage was torn up bar tape and some minor road rash but a major ego buster- luckily no one whose opinion i value saw it

Considering most of my falls are when I'm riding on the shoulders of roads with 27C slicks and every time I have fallen has been the result of weather surroundings, I don't think I'm that bad. Are you going to pick on CX dudes because they fall?

This was more so to bring up how much I want it to be spring, so I don't have to ride in ****ty weather. It could be worse, I could be too big of a wuss to ride in the winters.

I fell, once, when I was 2

my big wheel got ran over by a truck

that would actually be insanely traumatizing for anyone to go through if on their bike, trike, etc.

I've only fallen once since I started riding my fixed gear over the summer (new to clipless pedals and couldnt get both feet out, super awkward). Before that it was like every other week due to all sorts of **** on my mtb breaking, including a crank arm, a chain, a seat, handlebars, derailleur etc. tons of fun riding that beast but I used to eat it on the regular

getting on my bike about a week ago, i slipping on some ice and fell on my keys. i still have a bruise on my hip today.

yea i was probably 3 or 4 and got pushed over by the truck as i got off the big wheel. wouldnt say it was traumatizing but then again i still remember it.

today while i was track standing/turning the wheel to balance..the front tire got stuck between the gap in my soma toe clips...then i fell over

The only times I can remember recently would be last winter, which was my first in Seattle and I had never ridden in ice or snow before, so needless to say I ate the proverbial **** quite a bit.
Other than that, there was this one time I was leaving work at midnight, I had gotten about a block away and was making a right turn, as I was turning I stood up to mash up the hill and thats when my pedal snapped off the spindle. Now mind you this street I was turning on (the Pine st corridor) is where all the hipsters in Seattle converge on the weekends and the streets were packed. When I went down it was right in the midle of a crosswalk and as I tried to get back up, the pedal was still strapped to my foot and I slid out and landed right back on my ass and everyone walking around me was laughing at me

Just today. I was riding with my friend to school, and right before the school zone I try to pull off a skid (which was stupid by the way), and so lunchbox swings toward front wheel (yet again, stupid) turns the bars to the right, get launched off bike , tuck and roll (arm first) and then get a fatty bruise on my right hip bone area, and scraped some skin off above the right elbow.

TL;DR: Skid = fall.

I had a week like that last winter. All of the following happened within about a week:

Fell on the ice on my way to work TWICE. (crazy ice/snow storm, I had to walk the last four blocks when the snow made it impossible to make it up the hill).
Tire got caught in a crack in my driveway and caused me to slip on some ice.
Tipped over after unclipping the wrong foot while carrying a frame on my shoulder.
Fell over trying to get off my bike while really drunk.

Last summer I had a flat tire week. Something like 9 flats in 7 days. Different bikes, different tubes, different kinds of flats.

fell messing around... and sprained my wrist

What about your major wipeout into the wall outside of the Vid?

that doesn't count... possible concussion, jacked my knee up, couldn't use my left hand for almost a week. that was just a little spill. Technically I never actually fell off the bike. I just collided head first with a window/ brickwall.

I fell on my keys once while riding BMX and bent 3 of them, if I recall correctly. Had to bend back my car key to get home.

I have the nastiest bruise on my left ass cheek from riding bmx at the skatepark like saturday or sunday. Trying luc-e stalls to tooth stalls on a small/way steep quarter, and just couldn't not slide out of the tooth stall, took a studded belt/coping to my left ass cheek a couple times too hard. Seriously, who waxes non pool coping?

Kids that buy wax from CCS catalogs. But there's no excuse to wax pool coping either. Go faster.

no seriously, i get that it was icy out, but if you are falling every day you are doing something very wrong. and what you are doing is being bad at bikes

They are racing. This includes riding as hard as you can, pushing the limits of traction and doing things that might make you fall trying to win. Just trying to get around slowly should not include falling.
