Dreamwidth Velo Club

I've been over a couple of times in the wet, both times because I was being too ambitious with my cornering speed. There's no warning. Suddenly the bike isn't holding you up, and you smack your hip into the road. The first time I put my upper hand down the break the fall, but only succeeded in spraining my wrist. The second time I was wiser and just fell on my side. Nowadays I'm more careful in the wet.
