[gorhill]

I fell with my bike a couple of years ago. On a cycle path. No cars around. Nobody around. I just lost balance for whatever reason.

I will always remind vividly is how hard the side of my head hit the pavement. No doubt it would have been really bad without the helmet. I ended up with badly scorched fingers, a big mark on the helmet where it hit the pavement, but no head injury. Please, use a helmet.
