ha! At least you had a slow speed fall.
Reminds me of what happened a few weeks after I first went fixed. I wasn't quite diligent enough in tucking my flappy trousers into my socks (so there is a point to tight hipster jeans after all...) I'd just turned into Voltaire Rd off Clapham high street when the trouser leg got caught. The back wheel locked up and I skidded to a stop, still upright, and realising there was no way out (clipped in!) I said to some passing guy, 'I'm going to fall over now'. And then did, in sort of slow motion comical, try-to-land-on-my-hip-rather-than-the-bike way. quite an effective way to learn that particular lesson i think..
