Reminds me of my cycling days.. God I have had so many falls.
Lets see if I can put then all in:
1. In 4th grade I had a small bmx type bike I was coming home from school around 3 PM and I came fast around the entrance of our driveway and I was pretending to shift gear (no gears on that bike) and next thing I know I hit some sand and flew off to have a nice fall.
2. I was showing off to some women in 5th grade and I wheeled that bmx only to find myself under the bmx, I pulled the handlebars too hard, and I topped on the hard road.
3. I was racing with a friend, and he took the road I took the shortcut, a narrow path, on the end of the narrow path was this slope. I came fast and suddenly noticed there was a ditch before the narrow path I hit the ditch and wheelied off it, my rear wheels hit the slope and I did a complete 360 vertical. I know it was a 360 because quite a few people saw it. and some even complained to my mom saying "your son drives too fast".
4. I was in 2nd grade and I was following piglet(my friend) very closely (tailing him) and all of a sudden I hit his bicycles rear tyre and next thing I know I was on the ground.
5. 8th grade, age 12. I was riding back from my classmates house, I had his english notes in my chest, It was going to rain, so I rode back fast. I was now on my mountain bike and I came on to Bonn Ave it started raining harder, so i raced and hit "delhi ave". I had my head down to reduce resistance and Speeded up. All of a sudden in the middle of the night came this speedbreaker. I had forgotten about it, they had recently put that in. I hit the brakes, front and then back, unfortunalty the front locked and I flew off the bike. I landed 10 meters on the other side of the speed breaker. It was after 9 and no body would have been out there the heavy rain. However I was fortunate. Someone in the distance was walking and saw an object fly in the air (I had a lamp post near by so I was pretty well lit). He came by walking slowly and saw me lying in a pool of blood unconcious. Luckily they knew who I was and brought me home. My parents saw me and rushed me to the hospital (before calling emergency). I had broken my jaw.
6. I was getting out of school I had my 10 speed racing bike. I was done with physics practicals and was running home to grab lunch. As I was starting on the bike the bell had just rung stating "lunch". We are not allowed to ride the bicycles inside the school compound only push it until outside. I didnt want to break that, so I pushed it hard and got on the cycle. As I neared the gate I peddled out. As I was picking up I noticed the security guards hadnt taken their post on the center of the road. He was walking to it. He saw me and put up the stop sign. However the car coming down the road didnt see that, I saw him, hit the brakes and my cable split into two, so I hit my lock (my rear pad lock) forcing it between the spokes. I came to an instant halt only to find myself in the path of the car. I then turned my front wheel towards teh oncoming car and lodged my right leg between the frame and the peddle. Crash. Well.. my front wheel was bent. The car didnt have any damage but he did have to pay a big fine since he was speed in a 30 KMPH zone going about 70 KMPH. End result I got lots of "love" & "Caring" from girls in my school who just had to be nice and warm to me. I was sabotaged by my ex-gf and her bf (who also was my classmate), she apologies to me saying " I am sorry" but I wish It was more.
I have quite a few more, but
