My fault, riding through a subdivision with short steep hills. First hill is one block long and so far I've had to take it in low-low. Panting very hard when I get to the top take a right turn and go around in a close cul-de-sac. Then hit another shorter hill but ever bit as steep or steeper. I messed up on down shifting and with the pedals free spinning, lost control for a moment. Boy was I mad. Try not to have that happen again. For the first time had some very nasty thoughts about the shifters on my bike. It is a Schwinn Trailway and the more I use it the less I like the shifters.

No harm, no foul.

Well you didn't and that's good. I fell last summer. It was one of those slow motion no way to stop falls at a light fell right over and landed in front of a car. The sadest part was I was stopped. Feet on the ground not moving. Plus I was 100 lbs heavier than I am now so this over weight middle aged woman falling off a bike in Cambridge I'm sure gave several people a good giggle and something to talk about for 5 min or so.

I dropped an 800lb motorcycle three times. Falling off my bicycle is as easy as... falling off my bicycle.

Rode the route again today and made darn sure I hit the shift points right. No problems.
