when I was a kid (must have been 7 or 8) a ped stepped out of his front garden while I was going hell for leather down a big hill (on the pavement - I wasn't allowed on the road). I went over the handlebars and used the side of my face to slow myself down. I wish I had photos. I got a scab the entire side of my face.
Anyway, noone had helmets then.
PS. I've only ever been knocked off the bike by pedestrians. They're fuckin' lethal!
