Ding

I wiped out on my scooter for the first time ever. The streets were still wet from the rain the previous night. I was right before an intersection/stop light and the car coming towards me took a left in front of me. I gently hit my brakes but I felt my tires skidding and I couldn't stay upright. Fortunately I wasn't going very fast at the time (probably around 5 to 10 mph) so I basically just tipped over skinning my arm and knee. My neck is also a little sore. I was pretty lucky that there was no one behind me.

It was bound to happen sooner or later and I'm not kidding myself that riding a scooter in the city can be more than a little treacherous. As some of the kitties in this house can attest to first hand, the world can be an awfully dangerous place.
