The worst thing

The worst thing about falling off your bike after skidding on ice is not skeetering along the icy ground on your knee. It isn't the way that your handlebar twists sideways and digs into your inner thigh (although that really smarts). Without a doubt, the worst bit is the surreal sense of embarrassment you feel after you have just shouted 'WHoAAAH!' at the top of your voice to an empty moor.
