Had to happen sooner or later I guess, had my first fall today. I was taking it pretty easy, going around the roundabout at Turnford college (if anyone knows it). All of a sudden both wheels squealed (!) as they started letting go, I got my right foot unclipped and slid sideways but upright for a few feet before being deposited unceremoniously in a heap atop my bike.
My left palm hurts a bit, my right arm's a little grazed, my right thigh has a huge red road rash patch AND bruise in the same place but my bibs are somehow unblemished (luckily, as I had another 20 miles of commute post-fall). Also definitely clonked my head on the road but helmet was in between head and road so just a little bit of neck pain.
