It all happened so quickly.  Shocked



Riding along at a tad over the posted speed limit. My immediate surroundings were quiet and luckily traffic free.



My frozen bottle of water popped out of it's holder and fell to the ground below me.  Shocked



As my rear wheel hit the frozen bottle it got jammed between the tire and ground.  Shocked



Reflexes caused me to stand up and move my weight forward.   Roll Eyes



After skidding for a couple of feet the wheel hopped over the bottle and traction was regained.  cooldude



Riding a bicycle on the Greenway is hazardous

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Britman,

It was a good day,...you didn't wreck. Just try to imagine if you did have an accident!
Even if you were on a bicycle.

Don't know if your religious, but I believe God works in strange ways.

Peace
