I've had some pretty embarrassing drops. Once I stepped off my bike and forgot to put the kickstand down.

3 weeks after I bought my Ulysses, I dropped it in a parking lot trying to u-turn. I rode back to Atlanta from North Carolina like this:



Another time, I stopped on a steep slope with my bike perpendicular to the hill. When I went to put my downhill foot on the ground, there was nothing under it, and I fell right over. To add insult to injury, I couldn't lift the bike by myself with it pointed down the hill.
