Embarrasing Injuries

[CGM]

Heh, good bike story. You know, there's one thing I learned about bicycles, always try to keep both hands on the handlebars, cause you never know when you will have to hit the brakes fast. You hit the brakes with one hand free and you will go down, guaranteed.

A few years back I was riding a ravine path with a buddy at night. One hand on the handlebar while I was doing something with the other. Suddenly a damn skunk runs right in front of me. I hit the binders with one hand, not hard, just touched them, and went flying ass over teakettle, all tangled up in my bike. Ended up with a nice little row of holes in my leg where the sprocket dug in. Not fun.
