They put these yellow posts - bollards - on bike trails as a way of keeping cars out.
My hard-earned advice of the day is: don't drive your bike straight into one.
As we came up on this post, a woman cyclist was chastising 3 guilty-looking children about some leaves which had been set on fire on the trail. I apparently paid too much attention to the chastisement, and not enough attention to the steel post.
I'm scraped up a bit, and I expect to be black and blue on my left side in a few places. I was wearing my helmet, but I don't seem to have hit my head. Bike seems fine. iPhone seems fine.
I haven't crashed a bike in years. I suspect the underlying cause was post-marathon daze. I always feel less observant the day after a run of that length.
When a bollard's on the trail,
swerve around, or EPIC FAIL!
