Just come off. Currently waiting for my other half to bring me some trainers so I can walk/stumble home.
Nobody else involved thankfully. 1st day riding a bike I just bought on here. Turns out the chainring is pretty severely worn but I hadn’t noticed. Coming up to some lights I gave a little boost to get through before they turned to Amber, cranks completely spun around and I went over the bars. Hit my head pretty hard but had a helmet on and cut my knee moderately bad. Could have been a lot worse considering it was a straight, flat and clear road so I was probably going 25mph when it happened
