So yesterday I'm riding my bike to work when a Volvo takes a corner too fast and I end up cranking my handlebars in an attempt to turn. I cut it too far, wheel locks at 90 degrees to my angle of motion. I try to ditch, but my foot catches in the pedal cleat.
Over the handlebars I go.
Next thing I know, I'm standing on my feet looking at the Volvo, having done a textbook forward ukemi breakfall. Mr. Volvo's looking at me with his mouth open like some sort of innocent bystander. Me, I've got a hole in my second best pair of jeans and a little road rash on my left palm.
Seriously, guys. Practice your breakfalls.
