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.
