How to deal with falling off your bike in public?

Asked by nmac (213points) November 15th, 2009

So I fell off my bike today, which is so embarrassing – especially because I live in a insular community in Columbus Ohio where everybody knows me. I’m so not looking forward to seeing the guys at my local convenient store (where I go daily) and have them reeling from my fall – which I’m sure they will, since it was right in front of the store and many people came to my rescue. But then there’s also the cute guys in my neighborhood, etc…

Please talk me down and tell me that other people have done this and/or other embarrassing injuries. I’ve started thinking about things besides falling off your bike and injuring your body and ego, like… giving yourself a black eye with a champagne cork?

Anyone ever done something ridiculous?
