Okeydoke. More embarrassing than dangerous!
Last time I fell at full stop was at the top of Pike's Peak. I had just
arrived in CO that day and at the altitude I had a heck of a time picking
the bike back up. Worth it though. That stretch of road was the most fun
riding my whole trip, and I had the road almost to myself because I'd
gotten a fairly early start. Recommended!
