In retrospect, I shouldn't have tried to save time by undoing my seatbelt before we pulled into the driveway. Ouch. I fell out of a moving vehicle and broke my leg.

A chunk of the left side of my face was scraped away the pavement. Half of my left ear was torn off. 15 stitches in my ear. 17 in my face. I thought I'd be disfigured for life; I was astounded by how quickly it healed. I wish I had pictures. And when I say bike, I mean mountain bike. I flipped my bike once and landed on my face.

You're lucky you get to have all these near-death harrowing adventures that get to excersize your adrenal glands. My stupid bike's been broke for about 3 weeks. :( Did you get your lips dirty?

I walked into a fire hydrant while reading once, too. That's worse than a pole. I walked into a telephone pole once. I walked into a fire hydrant while reading once, too. That’s worse than a pole.

I nearly knocked myself out. My head still hurts. I should've written a post about it. I was walking down a sidewalk reading a book last week and walked into a pole. I nearly knocked myself out.

Driving on a two lane road, I decided that I was going to change lanes to get around the slow dude in front of me. I waited for the car driving in the lane next to me to get past and I accelerated to move over and merge into traffic. Just as I was moving over, the guy who I was merging behind stopped. Like you did, I pressed the brake a little harder than necessary and the bike slid sideways a bit. I quickly adjusted the pressure on the brake pedal and managed to stop without dropping the bike. Again like you, the adrenaline kicked in and I got the shakes and a new found appreciation for patience on the road! I had a similar incident last year on my bike….
