When you're half-way to the century mark, it's even MORE scary! It's
like, "what the HELL am I doing..I'm not a young guy anymore! So I did
the only thing Icould do....I went right back up the hill and did it
again, the right way!😄 😄 😄

I too have done an unintentional coast when I knew I was gonna crash
hard. It's amazing that you can take your feet off because you're sure
your going down, and then you can coast for a few meters. Your crash
sounds a lot like mine, except I was doing the runaway freight train
thing on pavement. Tailbone hurt for days.

Nice that you've achieved hero status here in cyberland. Congrats.🙂

Wow! I'm humbled by such words! My problem is that I don't "act" my
age! And that can get me in trouble since the bones aren't as strong as
they used to be! (Execept maybe for the one that's in my head!:p ) I
just like goin' for it sometimes and challenging myself. That seems to
be my "life-is-too-short, so go for the gold" outlook. 🙂

Luckily and to my surprise, I got up and shrugged it off and have no

I'm not sure if it can count as a "worst" UPD if you walked away with
no serious injuries... scratch that -- I haven't had anything I
couldn't walk away from either, eventually, but we each have our
"worst." Glad you weren't injured, and welcome to the world of
unintentional coasting!

It -was- my worst upd...so far. And I fell not because the brakes
cataputed me, but rather because I lost balance from not having my feet
on the pedals, thus unintentional coast! OUCH! I have my brakes
adjusted pretty well and I usually lean back slightly when applying
them as to compensate for the forward thrust of the uni when braking.
But I was moving so fast...REALLY fast, that the brakes were totally
useless against the overpowering momentum of the wheel. Scary!

Ouch. I am very glad you are okay! I am getting more into Muni. actually
skipped out of work early yesterday to ride. shhhhh

I have been also getting more and more active as I get older. A few of
my friends have independently suggested (and only half kiddlingly,with
a tone of concern), that I have a late-blooming case of ADHD.

Keep it up, the not getting hurt part, that is!

HA! It's such a coincidence that you mention ADHD! I've had that ALL of
my life!😄 But just like a person who stutters can sing amazing well
without stuttering, I seem to be able to ride muni and do my piano
tuning with focus and patience! So I guess my lineof work and Muni-ing
is a good outlet for my hyperactivity.

I can't even move my wheel pushing as hard as I can with my Maggies
squeezing on them halfway down, and yeat I can still manage to find
hills that keep me going full blast downhill while squeezing my brakes
for dear life...

Yeah, I wonder why that is? I guess it just takes a lot longer to stop
when there's so much momentum and weight (you) driving it forward at
high speed. So I probably WAS stopping, but not anywhere quickly enough
in my case!

Hopefully you weren't hurt! Well at least I can say I've "coasted", but
not intentionally!😄
