Careful riding!

Was riding a bike trail where people also will walk by the lake. I'm going like max 20 just crushing. Two guys were walking and one jumped out in front of me to be funny I guess, I swerved to avoid him ended up crashing cuz I swerved into water and tried to brake and slide cuz the back tire slipped. It was like that smooth side walk with water so it was extra slippery. I know they where just trying to be funny I was younger once but I got fucked up Ill try post the other pick of my leg it's so purple lol honestly tho it looks worst then it feels. My bikes luckily only got some scratches on the brake handle and pedal. Be careful out there! When I got up they were gone and I was bang up in no positions to chase or fight two guys lol just thought Id share to warn others.

20 on a trail....in the dark.....is too fast. This is mostly on you.

Ya it was too fast for him, it doesn't matter soon as he saw people he should have slowed to manageable speed. You need to understand perception reaction time, when i'm riding on side walk i do 15-18mph and when I see people from long distance i already slow to 8-9mph by the time I pass them by.

So because you say I'm going to fast its okay for you to jump out in front of me to be funny and cause me to crash? Nah I was going less then the posted speed limit when they jump in front of me not 20 but I was going max 20 at some points. It was well lit and I had my lights on my bike on.

In the dark? Nah lights every where where I was at tempe town lake. Do your research before you assume. Also I have a lights on my bike.

How'd that work out for you?
GetOffMy3Inches@reddit (OP)
Wasn't in the dark, light post all over lit up like any road. Was just cruising minding my own business on the right side of the trail it has lines like a road. Not my fault people want to try and be a clown like you.

On the flip side it's a very beautiful scarring, almost like a tattoo :D

Oh, thank goodness it’s alright. You can always make more skin.
Looks like you got off pretty lucky, too. Good onya! And as a bonus, looks like you also avoided learning one of the reasons why road cyclists shave their legs. An Elastoplast leg wax is just no fun.

I actually have hair it just super blonde. It actually shaved off my leg hair where it slid on the ground. But I'm not that hairy lol

From phx az long as yer bike is fine u are fine Ebikes didn't exist when I moved tho lol

Hey at least you’re at the scab stage and past the fresh wet ouchy phase where it hurts to move.
I’m also healing up, but from being yeeted by a pothole. Took an unfamiliar route down a road that was absolutely pitted with puddles and potholes. I had to choose the path of least risk. I chose wrong 💀
GetOffMy3Inches@reddit (OP)
Damn I always been scared of hitting a pot hole! Luckily my ride to work is like all bike trail. Like atleast 11 mile all bike trail rest is road like a mile to get to the trail and maybe a couple miles from the trial to my work once I reach the end. Hopefully your bikes rims and stuff are okay.
Intelligent-Survey39@reddit
When I hit the hole my front immediately turned 90 degrees and I went over while the bike fell in place. So It’s mostly fine. Some Cosmetic damage to the bars and My shifter housing broke off along with my display. I have one on the way but the bike actually works without it.
GetOffMy3Inches@reddit (OP)
Wow that's pretty crazy already the bikes still working
GetOffMy3Inches@reddit (OP)

Been there, done that. And all six of my boys have been there and done that too. I can't even count the times I have dug gravel out of my sons' various limbs (and my own as well). Of course this was from dirt bike riding, but you get the idea.

All my elbow and knees are scrapped up too lol but this is the worst
