Hi everyone. I'm very much a beginner to cycling but I had a nasty accident a while back which put me off for a bit. When I did have my accident (silly as I was) I got a friend to assemble the bicycle. I didn't realise until long after I'd thrown the slightly damaged bike back into the darkest depths of the shed, but the front mudguard had somehow been put on backwards (it was covering the front side of the front wheel rather than the side closer to the pedals, if that makes sense). It got me thinking, would the incorrect placement of the front mudguard have contributed to me coming off the bike? I think the reason I did go over was more to do with an uneven cycle path, the bike frame being just a tad too big for me and me going too quickly, but I am curious anyway. The damage is done now and I'm (almost) ready to get back on the horse so to speak (well, bicycle) but I think I will opt for something a bit smaller next time.
Anyway, thank you for reading, your thoughts are appreciated greatly.
