Okay,
I'm big enough to confess. I made the classic bicyclist mistake tonight and it resulted in some skinned knuckles, a scrape on my cheek and knee, a scratch on my rear view mirror and seat and a loss of pride.
The low-pedal-into-a-turn....got me. I layed the Jag down and hit the pavement with my face, knee and hands. Why...why? After countles hours on pedal bikes and motor bikes would a guy make a sharp left turn with the left pedal on the low side of the crank? What an idiot! And right in front of a neighbor who brought a friend over to see what motorized bikes were all about. Luckily my injuries are only skin deep and I'll heal in a few days but it was a stupid mistake and everyone should make it second nature to turn into a high pedal...not the low one. No one to blame but myself. IDIOT!
Tom
