Bicycle Touring Pro Can you describe your worst bike crash in 140 characters or less? (I posted this on Twitter earlier today and I've been getting some really good feedback... so I thought I'd bring the conversation here to Facebook.)

At the top of the hill have a funny thought that I should be wearing a helmet at about 25 mph go over the handlebars and skid through the intersection on my head. Still not sure what happened but I think It might have been a fender that shook loose and jammed the rear tire. Wear a helmet, is all Im going to say.

Commuting home on icy roads: slow at intersection, look left, look right, look down, bike is gone! Slam onto ice, pull hamstring, crawl to bike at curb, use as crutch to hobble home. Slow recovery.
