As I have admitted many times, I am a klutz with a track record of hurting myself in funny ways. Knowing this, I should have rejected the idea of biking and filming at the same time. But no, I wanted to get some footage of this weekend’s tour of Queens. While Rob called out the turns, I pedaled behind and used my Flip to get some action shots — only I braked too suddenly at a stop sign and ended up somersaulting over my handlebars. Luckily my only injuries were a banged up knee and a scraped palm but it was enough to shake me up. New plan: mount the camera on my handlebars. For now, here’s a little clip of the sheepish biker, post-spill.

I think “helmet cam” is the way to go. I can do it!
