Helmets guys and gals....Helmets!
Its always after a crash,when you hear your helmet scraping against the pavement, that you hear yourself thinking "thank God i was wearing my helmet"
Had a nice fall yesterday. I didnt see the giant lip where the sidewalk met the street, and because i was on sumos instead of knobs, i wasnt able to cross over and clear it. Just a few scrapes and a sprained wrist. But if i hadnt had my helmet on, i definitely wouldve been in the hospital. My bike is fine. Just scraped the brake reservoir, top of headlight assembly, and scraped the brake line to the point where the rubber is gone.
Oh, and my brand new air max 95s are now cooked.
