I'm still a relative newby to cycling and get nervous in a pack. There've been some near misses caused by my inexperience, but luckily I haven't taken anyone down with me. My spills have been solo--not unclipping at a stoplight, for example. Hard to look like a cool cyclist when you're splayed out on the pavement, blocking traffic!Doozyannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090601905887166306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16992013.post-56551121232517191492009-05-30T14:08:00.206-05:002009-05-30T14:08:00.206-05:00Tegaderm rocks.

The best way to describe the scene is "magical". Thousands of bikes "took back the streets" from the bullying roar and stink of internal combustion engines. What a joyful beautiful night scene. Imagine how much less stress those of us packed together in cities would feel if our "transportation infrastructure" was dominated by bikes. <br /><br />...And tomorrow the San Diego Rock and Roll marathon will fill a major 4 lane highway with runners. Meanwhile it is time for me to throw myself on the mercy of the Saturday morning drivers and head out in the gloomy coastal overcast to do errands on my 1986 metallic blue 10- Speed Schwinn "Caliente". <br /><br />I am glad you were able to get home from your spill on your own steam, Ms.O.B.

Though not a cyclist, I've purchased some beautiful jerseys for one who is. A comment on taking a spill: my passion is walking or hiking. I dump WAY more often than I should. Down on the concrete, hands and knees bleeding. And I don't have to calculate any of the variables that you do - just perambulate like people do. I attribute it to being very busy in my head at all times!Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16992013.post-46019707478731744142009-05-30T09:20:52.686-05:002009-05-30T09:20:52.686-05:00Once in awhile jersey makers hit a home run, and t...Once in awhile jersey makers hit a home run, and this was one.
