Bark off after mountain bike crash due to avoiding maniac driving car.

Well i'd suggest a painkiller, but i think you have that sorted already...

OUCH!

It could have been worse.

That gives my DH longboarding rashes a run for their money

good time of the year for pain, be careful

Gee wiz that looks like it hurts. I only ever came off my bike at low speeds in loose gravel so never had anything that unlucky. As above, take care out there

Yeowch!

I've been racing & riding MTBikes for over 20 years & this would be my 2nd decent crash, but the first onto a hard surface like bitumen, but I was speeding because the speed limit is 60 & if you just roll down this hill & don't touch the brakes you easily hit 80. 110km/h if you go down on a road bike.

Thank you for the comments.

oh man you were lucky! i used to DH speedboard and went skew on a corner hitting a metal rail once. woulda hit it at 35-40km on the slide and i walked away unscaved much like you... twas my first and last crash and the deck is now used for beer runs only lol! BE CAREFULL friend!

you should invest in a horn for your bike, i just taped a 5 dollar airhorn on. they're a lifesaver! the only problem is i usually have to choose between horn and brakes, and if i am in enough danger to consider using the horn, the brake is usually the better option...
