A few years ago I was riding my bike (one of my hobbies). I was sprinting down an asphalt street, going a little over 25mph, when one of the clip-in pedals broke....my foot flew up into the front wheel and sent me over the handlebars. My face was scraped in two places, the right side of my head (under my hair) and the back of my ear were all scraped up too (the doctor said they were equivalent to third degree burns). Huge cut on my forehead (stitches there), scraped my forearm, my knee, and the worst was my shoulder. All of the skin had been scraped off and the bone had been "filed down". The memories are so vivid


oh yeah, broke half of the spokes in my front wheel (from my foot), bent the rest, broke the brakes, knocked off the gear shifters, and bent the handlebars....that cost me a pretty penny to fix
