I'm so embarrassed, so naturally my first thought is to tell you lot!
I fell of my bike yesterday. Totally stupid. I was just leaving work, and there is a bit of tarmac down to the road that leads out of the car park that's about 20m long, and downhill (it's just a connecting piece of tarmac from a higher part of the car park to a lower part - no cars can use it).
I saw someone I knew and raised my left hand to wave at them. At the same time I was applying the front brake with my right hand. I don't really know how, but I applied the front brake too strongly, and as my weight was already forward because of the downhill, I pitched over the front. Well, I kind of turned sideways at the same time.
I have a bruised left knee, right hip, right elbow, and nice straight line welt on my right thigh where the top tube hit it hard.
What an idiot - and people saw too!
