Ouch

[lostcarpark]

Misjudged the Luas (tram) tracks and got my wheel caught in the groove. My tyre is just thin enough to fit in the groove, and just thick enough to come to a very sudden stop when it does, resulting in nicely skinning all the knuckles on my left hand and taking the knee out of my trousers, which are now fit for the bin.

At least I'm not otherwise hurt, and my new bike is fine apart from a few minor scratches.

Prior to that, I had a very nice cycle around Phoenix Park and took some photos of my bike:



Undeterred, I will be going for more bike rides, but will be more cautious of the tram lines.

That's a fine looking bike. Looks very similar to mine in fact, which is a Raleigh Boardwalk Lite (essentially a Dahon with a Raleigh badge on it). A few scratches are good, you don't want it to look too shiny and new.

Nice bike, nice lego train and HOLY TROUSERS, BATMAN!

Ouch indeed! Glad you're not seriously hurt though.

I actually witnessed a woman get her heel caught in the groove of one of the Luas lines one evening. Thankfully the situation was resolved before one of the trams actually headed her way.
