No, I didn't deliberately fall, but these made a nice tribute to all those franatics who rode the Tour.
The way this happened was pure stupidity and I was only one short block away biking home from work which is only 1.5 miles through downtown. PURE. STUPIDITY. And you know something, if you've witnessed some of my scars and road rashes, you know this won't be my last one. Although now my front wheel is bent and so is the handle bar. Quite amazing is that I didn't fall that hard. I have gone through worse spills than this without damaging the bike, scratched up but not damaged. Coincidentally, I stopped by the bike shop in town that is closing its door after this month on my way home before I took the spill. Maybe this is telling me something. Maybe there is a new bike in the near future.
