Hefty
Brommers
Forgot I was riding fixed on the way home from the train station tonight, and decided to coast along behind a car while standing on the pedals. Hit the deck hard. Doubly embarrassing as I was riding my Brompton at the time. The drivers of the cars in front of and behind me both stopped to check I was alright, which was nice, particularly the driver of the car in front who parked up and came running back down the road to check up on me. I now have a big hole in one knee and a small hole in one elbow, and an egg-sized lump on one hip. Ow ow ow ow ow. Still, could be worse.
