helmets are cool and safety is sexy!

[redskiedmorning]

I hit a patch of black ice on Friday night and actually broke a bike helmet for the first time. I went down so fast that i didn't have time to let go of my handlebars and just went face first into the pavement... cracked the helmet at the left temple and got a sweet little road kiss on my cheek bone (no road rash, luckily, just a gnarly contusion

I hit black ice on friday as well. Good thing I was wearing my helmet too, because I smacked my head pretty good.

Hooray for safety!

Yay for helmets!

I so wanted to come watch the Bikes Inside! stuff this weekend, but instead I stayed home getting over the evil sickness.

Now I feel unoriginal for wanting to say that I'm glad you're okay and having a close call with icy roads.
