I endoed today for the first time, and nothing to show for it except a bent front rim. And, I guess, a bruise on the inside of my thigh, but it's not in a place I can really show off. Mid-grade bruises are not really sexy injuries, anyway.
Here is a nice rule of thumb: while biking, do not adjust clothing while braking. Otherwise you may find yourself restricted to bipedal transportation in the middle of Fermilab, and required to guide your mount alongside while you make a return trip guaranteed to seem much longer than the ride out.
Thankfully it was a glorious day at the time, and only one older man was tempted to note the obvious: the bike is a much more efficient machine when you're on top of it. So be good to it, for goodness' sake.
