: this has been my year for humiliating falls. In toe clips between car and
: curb, I didn't loosen the clips well enough, come to a stop and fall over
: to the right onto the grass strip (how convenient) and roll onto my back
: with bicycle up in the air. 30#touring bike with panniers. Entertainment
: for all.

: Next I'm on a folding bike with 20" wheels and clipless pedals. Although
: the seat is high because of high bottom bracket there isn't an easier bike
: to dismount from as the single big tube between seat tube and head tube is
: as low as your knees. So I come to the grassy patch in front of the bike
: shop and honestly FORGET how to dismount, swing leg over the seat or
: simply step forward and off...down I go. Truly the best was leaving a
: grocery store parking lot on the folder. The cars coming in from the
: street stop because dummy that I am I'm on the left side of the entrance
: blocking them,,situational awareness turned off that day, so I stop but
: don't go right as I haven't checked to the right to see if anyone is about
: to pass me,,so instead of unclicking or simply pedaling left out of
: everyones way I come to a STOP,,and fall to the right tuck into a roll and
: stand right up. It looked so good the guy at the gas station across the
: street watching my idiocy yells out "7 points!"....I bow and get
: the hell out of there before the cars start yelling at me.

: I hear it's dangerous in bathrooms too.

Sure is nice reading this forum to find that I'm kinda normal
