Ouchie! Glad you are not too hurt. Bicycles are bad, I had to have spine surgery because of a bicycle. Ok, well it was in fact my fault for thinking I was 18 again and that I could emulate Evil Kineval! Won't be doing that again in a hurry! :)

Sorry to hear about your incident Vikki.:ack2: I also run my front tyre pressure a bit low if it's likely to be wet or slippery. I worry about a fall because I have to ride with one hand and hold my heli bag with the other and if I fell the heli could get damaged as well (almost certainly).
If you have a safe path to ride on without the risk of getting run over then the trike might be a viable option.Kasama, Minicopter, Henseleit, JR, Shape, Beam

Vikki,
If you can get them in/on you could maybe think about changing to something like these:

I have a set on my HT/ Streetbike and they are physics defying. They make an awesome sound on the concrete and will cut straight through single leaves. Not cheap though and might not fit your bike.
I think Schwalbe actually do a more street style version, I'll have a looksee.
Alternatively you can make your own using an existing tyre and some screws:

Just thought,
I too keep whacking myself (got a fixie that I keep forgetting is a fixie) and can recommend the sixsixone D30 evo elbow and knee pads, they are a soft pad (V comfy) similar to Hiprotec motorbike armour that stiffens on impact.

Came off my bike - again!
Sorry to hear you've come off Vikki...I started back cycling to work last week but have just had to buy new tyres as the old ones were perished...I came off my bike a couple of years ago and my right knee has only just stopped complaining! I've seen a couple of bad cycle accidents recently (one tonight on the way home) so I'm going to be sticking to the cycle paths and paths, too old to mend quickly these days!
Hope the sore thumb doesn't stop the heli flying :(Neil
