Made good time despite my first ever wipeout mid-trip. Was coming down Baltimore Pike around 55th and swerved across the trolley tracks to avoid a water company truck and workmen, when I swerved back, I didn't get a good enough angle on the tracks and wedged my front wheel firmly in them. Less than a second later I was sliding down the street on my right shoulder and ass.
The bike seems to have faired well and my body will recover. Nice knock on the helmeted head when I first went down, plus a serious case of road rash on my right shoulder. My right wrist feels tweaked, but I nothing is broken so all good.
Now I'm curious how I'll be feeling tonight. Maybe I'll take Septa home....

Glad you weren't injured more than the road rash and tweaked wrist. It could have been worse.

Thanks. So true about potential for much worse. Really really glad I was wearing the helmet. I always do and it saved me from a concussion or worse this morning.

I am glad you are okay otherwise!
