have you ever been on the road and saw cyclists in a group and all of a sudden see one of them on the floor? well the shittiest and most embarrassing thing happened today. i was on a ride this afternoon with my co-worker and we came to a stop. i freaking forgot to check the screws on my cleats before we started and didn't realize that the screws were loose. so when i tried to unhook myself from my pedals it actually didn't happen and i happen to fall, off my bike, still attached to the bike, unable to get up off the floor, scraped up knee and everything. and you know what...RUSH TIME traffic on one of the most busiest streets in san mateo! damnit! so if you ever see someone fall off their bike, please have some sympathy for them. they may not be as stupid as they look on the floor. there may be an "actual" reason why they fell off their bike.

hahahaa I agree with that guy in az.

Sorry dav, falling off a bike is like the second worst thing ever. Right behind going to work with no pants or something like that. Hope you didn't hurt yourself too bad! peaces

i agree with the guy in az as well.

i've fallen off a bike before, but that's me. it's expected of me. not you.

Remember when we biked across the bridge and Uncle Haw saved Derrick's life with an apple?

That's all.
