Today, my friend and I were racing on our bicycles when my chain snapped. I went over the handlebars and slid, on my back, for about ten feet. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML
Today, I decided to get some exercise for the first time in months. I went to the store and bought a brand new bicycle and all the necessary paraphernalia. I drove a half hour to a bike trail, unloaded the bike, and started riding. 10 feet later, the chain snapped. FML
Today, I went biking. I attempted a large hill and lost control, slipped, and fell ten feet into a sewage pit. Riding home covered in crap, my sock caught my chain and I flipped over my bike. My dad had to spray me with the garden hose, bloody and shitty, in the front yard. FML
Today, while BMXing I felt my chain break loose. I only looked down for a split second, and that's all it took for me to crash into a young scooter kid, breaking not only my own nose and elbow, but both his arms. FML
Today, I was riding on a stationary exercise bike at home, when I went to get off, my shorts got stuck under the seat. I dangled half upside down until my shorts ripped and I fell on the ground face first breaking my front tooth. I broke my tooth riding a bike that doesn’t even move. FML
Today, I got on the train with my bike, leaning it up against the wall. After a while, it began to slide down the wall and wobble, so I dashed out to catch it. As I ran for it, I slipped and crashed into it, knocking it into an old man and busting the rear brake. FML
Today, I was cycling home. On the way, my laces got stuck in the bicycle pedals and I couldn't move the foot that got stuck. The bicycle fell over, with me attached to it. Everyone was looking at me like, "What are you doing?" FML
Today, I went dirtbiking. While I was going down a hill, I spun out of control and flipped over my handle bars. I now have a sprained arm, multiple bruises and a crescent-shaped gash on my neck that looks like I was bitten. People are asking if my boyfriend and I were being frisky last night. FML
Today, I was having motorbike lessons. We were parked by the side of the circuit when one side of my gloves dropped on the ground. I tried to pick it up without getting off the bike. I lost balance, fell off the bike and the bike landed on my leg, trapping me. FML
Today, I was cycling home when I saw my sister, who lives a 4 hour drive away, walking past me on the path. I turned my head and called to her, causing me not to notice the pothole in front of me. My front wheel went in and I went over the handlebars. It wasn't even my sister. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Every FML has to start with "Today," regardless of when it happened, but it doesn't necessarily mean they happened that same day.

Something similar happened to me. I was longboarding down a huge hill when I got the speed wobbles. I slid for about 15 feet on the side of my body. I actually have a first person video of it because I was recording with my helmet cam.

Yaike! Over the handlebar and on your back. So chances are it was just bare skin against the pavement. At least you didn't slide on your face. Get well soon.

At least your friend didn't laugh at you. Which seems to be a fairly common problem with submissions to this site.

My friend went through something similar. We were racing our bikes and his chain popped. But don't worry, his balls stopped him from flying off.

Happened to me also. I was in coeur dalene on the 4th of july, the sidewalks was packed with thousands of people, and the roads were closed off, so me and my friend decided to ride our bikes up the closed off part of the streets, we were going about 20 MPH, my chain came off and my foot hit the ground causing me to flip over my handle bars landing on my ass and bending forward super hard. I got up and some drunk guy went "Give this kid an applause!!" and everyone cheered and clapped at me cause i got up with no problem. I was only 14 that time. Funny shit.
