Big fall

I must have jinxed my bf last week when I said i’ve never seen him fall (after he sent me a text that he fell off his bike when the surfer dude stepped into his path with his surfboard). Yesterday I was riding next to him, the final 3 miles of our ride…and he tries to put his sunglasses in his helmet, hits 3 bumps on the road, and he goes flying off his bike! His bike kind of hit mine when he was on his way down, so I thought I was going down as well since it made me lose my balance and I hit a patch of gravel, but luckily I was able to ride it out. Hahahaha. It was quite funny to see my guy sitting on the ground with his bike next to him.

Damage done:

1 bruised ego
2 bloody knees
1 bruised and cut up hand
1 bruised shoulder
1 badly bruised hip
1 ripped up shirt
1 banged up helmet (yes, the loud noise I heard was him hitting his head on the concrete)

No pictures since we didn’t bring the camera along!

That should teach him to take his hands off the handlebar on a bumpy road. I also gave him a lecture on how from now on, he shouldn’t take off his helmet like he sometimes does during those long rides on super hot days, because that helmet did save him yesterday.
