First bail I've taken since I began riding fixed gears nearly a decade ago.
I took a graceful dismount but because it's fixed gear the pedals don't just magically stop when you do. One of the metal teeth got me real good!
I was just looking at a scar from doing this like 5 or 6 years ago. I was on mountain bike trails with no rear suspension and hit a rock which kicked my feet off the pedals.
I changed my pedals. Not cuz of this but just cuz I hated the ones I had in general. The fact they were surrounded in serrated blades was definitely a con tho.

I went over the handle bars in traffic like a couple years ago and when I opened my eyes I saw my buddies tire coming for my head. He turned at the last second. It's a visual memory that is permanently seared.

Cleaned out our cars, including both car seats. Took a nap while watching golf. Removed an old toilet and installed a new one. Successful Sunday.

Re: Talk about your day thread
Awoke at 6:30am to messages from my sister that there’s been some bad news after my mom’s surgery to remove a cancerous nodule in her lung. Tues out there’s more spread than the scans caught, so she’s now stage 4, not stage 1. So we’re all trying to wrap our arms around what’s next. Rough day.
