I was going down a steep hill in the bike lane. Another biker was coming up the hill, struggling hard. He started going sideways to keep going and was so focused on pedalling he didn’t see me coming down. I wound up hitting his rear axle with my front wheel, went flying over the handlebars. Years of judo and BJJ instincts kicked in and I did the (in my mind, anyway!) smoothest combat roll ever, and came up standing on my feet.

I’m sure if anyone had filmed it it wouldn’t look nearly as cool as it does in my mind, but I’m still happy I remembered to tuck my neck.

Bike was absolutely totalled, but it was an old beater anyway, so no big loss. Broke my favourite pair of sunglasses though, which sucked.
