Well, funny that we should be discussing this because on the way to school today
(a ride of 2-3 km) I happened to be speeding along at 16km/h (~29" wheel) when I
hit an unexpected bump and bailed big time onto the concrete! My battle injuries
consist of a badly bruised hip, scraped knee, ankle, elbow, and 2-3 tears in my
backback. Only reason I didn't crack my head was because my book bag was sooo
big I did a turtle on it's back impression as I skidded along the ground:)
Anyways, the long and the short of it is that from now on I am planing on
wearing a helmet whenever I attempt to go for new speed records/ am in a rush to
get somewhere.
