Ouch, glad your ok! Hey at least they did not laugh at you! Do you have a bell? There a must have on multi-use pathways. I do notice one effect with the bell though, that everyone seems to just fucking stop what there doing and turn around. So instead of just moving over to the correct side of the path they stop, turn and then SOME times get out of the way...
BTW add gloves to that must wear along with a helmet Craven!
Gloves give you padding on your hands against the handlebars, better grip if you get sweaty and if you take a header they get ripped up and not your hands.
On friday night we had some big storms pass through and I went out for a ride Saturday morning, I came up to a long patch of mud very quickly and tried to steer out of it but it was too late. My back brake locked up and i went surfing on one foot and the bike half on it's side. I did manage to stay on my feet and was amazed at no damage to me or the bike!
Today my neck is so freaking stiff when i turn my head to the right! Could feel it all during my ride today, luckily the lady friend is coming over to massage it and several other aches and pains out...
