| | | Posted by Jesus Jones Racing a train (going really slow) on a bike, I qwas riding like an idiot and made it through the gates quick enough but it had picked up speed and sheared my rear wheel in half, I got a scrape on my leg from that.
| You mean the train's wheel and one of the rails actually chopped your wheel in half? You were about twelve inces from a Darwin award, my friend! I don't have any notable recent biking wipeout tales, as I haven't been biking in a while and when I was most recently regularly biking, I tended to do pretty well in the staying upright and unscathed department. I've got a story and pictures from an interesting rollerblading wipeout if anyone wants to see those, though.

| | | my roommate just recently fractured his collar bone. he was riding around on his bmx, the begs nicked the ground and the bike slid out from under him, resulting in him landing on his shoulder and cracking it. 6 weeks off work, wearing a brace. poor guy. hopefully he gets back on his bike when he's healed

| | | My last was in May, 2002, on the Chicago lakefront path near 55th St. I was on a short wheelbase recumbent (RANS Rocket), and my rear wheel got hooked on a raised concrete seam at about 17 MPH. WHAM! I got some beautiful road rash on the front of my left shin and the back of my left thigh, 47 miles from home as the bike flies. Nothing to do but break out the first aid kit, clean it up with alcohol wipes, put on the antibiotic ointment, bandage it, put on the sweat pants I had in my pack, and ride home. The first few miles hurt like hell, then the endorphins kicked in, and soon I was at my usual pace. Then it was time for the shower. OWWWWWWWWWWW! It healed up surprisingly fast, with more Neosporin and non-stick dressings changed daily.

| | | On a recently-acquired(xmas present) BMX bike that I was direly in need of, I was behind my house in gravel practicing barspins. Well, i had stood up, clamped the seat between my legs, and spun the bars the first time, successfully, and I went to go back, got held-up, and went face-first over the bike, into the ground. Bad balance, and lack of an effort to prevent myself from meeting gravel constitute to that.
Uh, yeah, then I was working on jamming my front tire and rolling backwards out of an indo. Misjudged speed by the weight of bike, in short, had the bike act as a swinging door. I went into the ground, bike on top of me. ... I've not biked in a month, haha.
