I ride my bike about 4 miles to work every day. I'm 56 and consider myself moderately fit for my age. I got halfway across a fairly busy road and waited at a pedestrian refuge. When there was a slight break in traffic, I started to pedal but my bike skipped a gear which caused me to overbalance and I hit the road with cars approaching. Thankfully they stopped to allow me to collect myself as I was a little shaken. Two days later and I am still hurting in different places and I am starting to feel my age more.
