    Falling off a bike is HARD. You have a few vectors of velocity working against you, and you’re higher up of the ground than you’re used to. I used to be a competitive snowboarder and some of the falls i’ve taken on my road bike hurt so much more than some of my biggest snow and ice crashes.

      I thought you were saying it’s hard to fall of a bike at first, like you’d be a dumbass to even do that. Now I see you’re saying it HURTS! I can get onboard with that as I still have a road rash scar on my hip from falling off at high speed on my daily commute 10 years ago.

      To be fair, I was being a dumbass: going way too fast in the rain and not paying enough attention, so when I swerved out of the way of an oncoming bike, I hit the bike path kerb and went rolling down the sidewalk. You can’t really last minute swerve on 2 wheels.

      Double dumbass because I wasn’t wearing a helmet and could have been so much worse, but at the time I was most upset about tearing the shoulder off my favourite jacket…
