The Yield Sign

    So previous to my major crash last week I had a minor a couple weeks before.  As usually I was riding my bike to work.  I was coming down a hill on the sidewalk, using both front and back brakes to keep my speed down.  As I reached the bottom of the hill I went slowed to cross the street.  I glanced behind me to see the traffic.  I was too close to the edge of the sidewalk and I ran into a Yield (ironic don't you think?) sign.  Not something I recommend.  Fortunately I had a couple layers of clothes on as well as a backpack, taking the brunt of the impact.  So there ya have it.  Yet another crash to add to my portfolio.  I probably should just ride a bus.  Nah!  I need the exercise.  I've got  more stories I want to share but I need sleep.
