Randomly, in the spirit of Halloween, I figured I'd share my mostly minor mishap today. It happened on my spare junker BMX bike today while doing front end spin around sort of balance tricks.

Apparently I need to get some end caps for my handlebars, the sharp uncapped handlebars are what cut me. ☹️🤦

Edit: Don't mind the wristband, that's a 1.5 pound sandbag weight to help exercise my left arm.

Part of my faith in humanity was restored today. I just rode my bicycle yet again, ~10:30pm my time, to the store to get a beer.

No bandages on my hand, bleeding quit hours ago. But the cashier saw my hand injury and opened up their first aid box (I didn't ask, he offered).

He gave me two alcohol wipes, a gauze pad, and a large bandage.

Honestly I think I already got this disinfected and taken care of, but the cashier fella restored a little of my faith in humanity..
