ok, i cannot believe i'm admitting it, but here it is :
coming home from college one day, i rode my SEKAI 2500 through a pile of broken glass. Like an experienced italian road racer, i reached down with my gloved hand to wipe the glass from my front tire... but what...??? Buon Signore!
My hand was not gloved, so i decided to use my shoe and stick it against the tire, behind the fork. My resulting 360 over the handlebars scared the pizza man (looking out the window at me) more than it scared me, at 5mph. I landed on my backpack without even touching my helmet (at usual, in 33 years of riding and after countless accidents, my helmet has NEVER gotten hit ...) Even the fork was unscathed! Still, don't try this at home ...
