I went down on Jefferson Street when my front wheel went into one of the F-line tracks and I lost control of the bike. The tracks run parallel to the direction of traffic, and I was attempting to hop sideways over one of them, and I just misjudged it. Rail tracks are a common hazard in San Francisco, one I that I safely negotiate all the time, and so this was a very foolish mistake. 100% rider error. How fast was I going? Maybe 15 mph.
I'm a little banged up but mostly ok. I basically did a somersault (vs a slide) as I was falling, so I have a couple of scrapes but no road rash. My left knee took most of the impact, and when my left foot hit the ground it flexed pretty far upward. Across my elbow there is a 6" long abrasion in a perfect straight line - it must have hit the Muni track. Then there's a little scrape on my shoulder. My helmet hit the road and my head crunched backward a little farther than I would like - the only part of the accident I really remember. My neck and shoulders are stiff.
Based on the forensic evidence I have available, I don't think my helmet took too much impact, but I have decommissioned it nonetheless. I bought a new helmet yesterday.
My bike is fine.
Those MUNI tracks were the bane of my existence when I lived in SF. Ugh.
