bike accident - Kind of deserving
I was going on a good speed. My assumption would be somewhere above 25 KM/hour and I actually made one turn on a cycle path and then I saw a wooden bridge which I remember crossing before. This was a small bridge above a small stream and allows only bicycles and pedestrians.
My biggest mistake was to make the turn in that speed without noticing the change in the path, its not just wooden but there was a shiny steel rim which I remember exists for every bridge corner. This one is normally atleast on the bigger bridges rough. I was unlucky to have the super smooth and shiny one. Imaging what would happen if one takes a nice turn with weak grip on wheels.
So it happened :D I noticed the handle all messed up. I fixed it and was wondering why is the back wheel not smooth. It was the chain. I fixed the chain. I took some time and started and the wheel was wobbling like mad. For a second I was scared it will come off.
The bad news is that the crash has beaten the wheel out of shape. It wasnt that bad but the brake was catching it. I slowly went to train and reached home.
I am happy to say that I fixed it with another wheel. I am yet to check it out.
