I feel so embarrased. The conditions were wet, and i was turning a bit too fast! (only got a grazed elbow, and a wet leg) (bike's fine)

Just thought you might find it funny. i do!

has nybody else fallen off in stupid situations?
I fall at least a couple times a month because I forget about my toe clips, and it doesn't get much stupider than that

So far I've only fallen once and that was about three months ago. I was new to my bike and I had toe clips at the time. Was biking up the side of the road, saw someone pushing a cart, went to go around them and hit a patch of sand. Landed smack in front of the woman...So embarassing.

I haven't fallen off for quite a while - the last time I did I was going quite fast on a bikeway, I went off, but as I tried to get back on I hit the edge of the path parallel and fell off. It hurts a bit when you're going fast

I got lost once on my way to Dover. Stoped to ask some one for directions and they had started giving me the directions when a gust of wind knocked me off balance and i didnt unclip my other foot in time. They laughed at me so hard. I just gave up cycled home with a sore pride and a bloody knee.

my first crash was cause i clipped a friend's backwheel while going down hill.. i veered off to one side putting my bike into a bush and me into the sand.. scared the bejeepers out of my friend who thought she'd be callin the ambulance... this was 1 1/2 weeks after i started riding.

second crash was day of clippless pedals.. leaned on the wrong side and down i went, 3rd was stopping when i only wanted to slow and clipped the wrong foot and fell down a driveway... lol.. the 3rd was the only embarrasing one...

i took a bad wipeout about a month ago....
it wasnt that bad, i was just turning into my driveway on a dry day when i hit a patch of gravel and off i went. scrapped my arm pretty bad.
the worst thing about it was that the girl i liked and still do ( who is my neighboor) was walking home and happened to witness the event. WOW that was embarassing. she just watched and giggled....

LOL, that one takes the prize for most embarassing. I mean, if you fell off clipping out and people saw you, at least they are stangers and you will never see them again, but this takes the cake.

What the hell is that, thats not a crash or anything, you slowly tumbled over with a big puffer jacket onto a soft ground. Pointless video

First time I fell on the road bike was after 2 years, 40+ races, and 8000+miles, it was like a month ago, in the last race of the state series, and i got my back wheel swept out and face planted while attacking at 30mph with 2 miles to go! ouch.

I was entertaining my friend's little brother by doing tricks (not really that good, but he was only 9, so he knew no better), and saw this girl I thought was really hot, and just lost focus and fell. He thought it was really funny.
