Bike accident

Bike accident by erokCom.
I was biking home from through the West End. I ran over some railroad tracks and well, that's about the last thing I remember. Thank God I wear a helmet

Gotta' watch out for those tracks, especially on a bike with narrow tires. Hurry up and heal....

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I am ok. It happened so fast I did not have much time to react. I went down right on my shoulder and helmet. I can't imagine what MIGHT have went down if I would have not been wearing it.

And yes Dad, the narrow tires fit probably did not help things...

Wow, that's a bummer. I could tell from your posts that you were psyched about your bike and riding it to work....don't give up! Bikes rule. Just watch out for those train tracks, we have some gnarly ones in Atlanta.

i started avoiding murphy after my little dance with the tracks...pretty much grabbed my back tire and tried to throw the bike out from underneath me...that diagonal cut across the street is a killer.
