One Ride, One Fall, My Fault
Jun. 24th, 2022 02:07 pmAbout 8 miles into my ride this afternoon, I was approaching a stop sign at a thru street.
The problem, at that intersection, is that the line of sight to the left is somewhat obstructed by foliage, curves in approaching roadway, etc.
By the time I saw the oncoming vehicle, I was already at the stop sign and had to brake quite suddenly.
Unable to keep the bike upright as I attempted to dismount, I went down on my right side. Took the impact on right palm, elbow, and hip.
Was able to get up and finish my ride home.
Won't have to wait to see if I feel it tomorrow, because I'm feeling it now...
