Shortly after I posted, I fell over with my bike on rolling gravel, the first time since I was about 11 years old that I fell over. Luckily I wasn’t going that fast, but fast enough that it was enough. It might have gone less badly if I had worn long trousers and a jacket instead of shorts and a short-sleeved shirt :’)

Biggest gash in my life on my knee, and several rough cuts in my kneecap but which didn’t need to be stitched or taken to the emergency room according to 1177, as well as bruised and scraped elbow.

But now it’s patched up properly and got a tetanus booster on VC, and a lesson of some benefits of long pants and jacket even in the roasting heat.

    bästa att skaffa dig ett par cykelhandskar för händer om något suger om man lyckas skrapa upp rejält 😉

    När jag var liten cyklade jag i hjälm, badbyxor och skor en gång. Fullt ös nedför en lång nerförsbacke rätt ner på grusvägen. Fortfarande ärr lite här och där på kroppen.
