Fell down today & injured myself. Here is a recap of what happened:
Wanted to cycle to MRT wearing a long skirt today. (I had experiences with wearing skirt & cycling before and as long as I dun cycle too fast, it is safe.) While turning the corner out from the carpark, I used one hand to pull down my skirt to prevent it from flying up. Then suddenly, I lost control and fell flat by the side of the road...my knee & shoulder hit the kerb and luckily my hand landed on the soft grass. Before I could feel pain, the embarressment came first. The van which was passing by me at the point when I fell stopped..but no one came down to offer help..I was thinking...heck~ are they trying to see how hurt I am!! Cars passing by horn me ...dunno if they're mocking at me or trying to ask me to get out of their way...can't they see I am injured??? But anyway, in my sorry state, I stood up and picked up my stuff that have fallen onto the floor..my O2 mini got more scratches to its collections (Good, now I have evidence to remember this day). It was at this point that the feeling of pain came to me...my kneecap was bleeding..can't see the wound clearly...then another part of my ankle is bleeding as well..but that wasn't too painful. I was on the verge of crying and turning back home..but somehow I did not cry..instead I continue riding to the MRT and limped all the way to office. Lesson Learnt: No skirts on bicycle in future.
