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.... |

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.
