So has anyone else ever had the wonderful experience of being blown off your bike by the wind? Into a guardrail? _________________

A friend of mine was riding my bicycle down a huge hill. It ended... badly. He flipped, twice, hit a gravel patch. Ripped up my tire (which I got replaced yesterday), busted my tube, and bent the rim.
Seeing such a badass flip = Priceless. _________________

bicycle or motorcycle?
bicycle..no...I have had the pleasant experience of coming down from about 6-8 feet in the air off a jump and have both of my feet slip off the pedals upon landing.
...I layed there for about...oh..I dunno...an hour? Surprisingly..I was still able to have kids years later.
On motorcycles...I have had heavy winds push me darn close to other cars and curbs...but not a gaurdrail yet. Heavy winds on the highway on a bike is not fun. |

I'm guessing she's light as a feather...
Either that or there are some pretty nasty winds in Japan... _________________

Kachie, what would have happened if the guard rail wasn't there? A long fall? _________________

There's nothing pimpin' about Hylian showing some concern. IEG on the other hand...
To answer the initial question, no I've never been knocked off of my bike into a guardrail.
Did you leave a dent? Did the guardrail leave a dent? _________________
