Just eight days before I set out on my trip I got a wake up call. I was biking down to Ocean Beach in San Francisco to watch the sunset with my girlfriend, Rachel. My cyclometer was not working so I tried to tap the magnet mount on my fork to get it to work and ended up sticking my foot into the spokes instead. Over the bars I went, hitting the pavement with the right side of my body (notice my bloody knee). I ended up being fine but I destroyed my front wheel and fork along with with my seat in the process. My adrenaline was sky high for the next couple of days. The moral: Come to a complete stop before trying to tinker with your bike. It will save you time, money, and your health!
