decided to by a new bike for my birthday, been doing test rides at various stores for a couple weeks,
Saturday went to the LBS in next town - crashed on the second bike i tried - can't figure out what i did.
was in a fairly empty parking lot- repeated same pattern as earlier test ride. swerving back and forth to measure balance, had just downshifted and was executing a short sprint and WHAM, I did an end over end. i have slid out before, this happened much faster and was in forward direction, helmet totaled, broken collarbone, lots of RR- cant figure out what happened.
dry empty parking lot, no gravel or cracks, did notice chain was off chainring. was like i hit something invisible, what could have caused this?
