Another first ...

Unfortunately I had an accident on my bike last Thursday night, another cyclist overtook me on the inside and my immediate reaction was to brake so as to avoid hitting them. On the plus side, my brakes work really good, on the negative, I flew over the handlebars, somersaulted and went splat. Bugger! am a tad sore, musclewise, have a graze on my arm and a headache which hasnt gone away. Am counting myself very lucky. I got back in the saddle this morning, and have to admit to being a lot nervous on the ride to and from work today. The guy I braked for didn't even bother stopping to check I was ok, he had to have heard me go down, and known he was in the wrong. Tosser! It happened exactly one month to the day since I started biking. My bike is fine, cant even find a scratch on it.
