I fell yesterday on my bike

Don't worry, I was fine. I was barely moving and somehow didn't strain or bruise anything. I still don't know how that works. I think what happened is I was on an incline on the path by the NAC and I stopped to look at a road closure on my route. I tried to do a break stand without thinking about it and all of a sudden my rear tire kicked out to the right and I was down on my left side. 

Honestly it was frightening. 

Things that I think contributed to it was I was on Laura's bike which I think has the original 8 (?) year old tires, the tires got a bit iced / snowed up on my way in, and there was a layer of ice on the path. 

Did I enjoy biking in the snow and cold? Yes I did. Will I do it with my route that has so many non-paths? No. I will waste my time and be slightly less happy because I want to make it through the winter alive and unhurt. 

Man, I'd be so much happier if I could teleport.
