I wiped out on my bike today....really hard.
I was probably going about 15 mph....not too fast but enough that I couldn't stop the fall and get my feet out of my clipped in pedals.
It didn't help that the ground was snowy and icy. I thought I would be okay because the snow and ice was only sporadic....well it was but I am not an accomplished enough rider to not fall. I learned my lesson.
If the bruises get bad enough I will definitely be taking pictures for the blog. Right now everything is just scraped, red and a little swollen....but I am only writing this an hour post-fall....let's give it some time.
Lessons for the future....don't ride your bike two days after a huge snow fall. If you do ride your bike anyway, be prepared to fall and wear a helmet. My head hit the ground pretty hard but that helmet saved me.

Glad you were wearing a helmet! Bruises on your body are one thing. Bruises on your brain's another story!
Oh Mar. That is bad. Try not to let the trauma prohibit you from future adventures.
