So I suffered my first crash in over two years, on Friday. I was on my way to Zuid Station and was in a bit of a rush. Cycling on my single speed commuter with back pedal braking. The roads were wet from rain. I was cycling round the traffic circle when a scooter came past me and then took the same exit as me but then braked suddenly. His rear brake light was not working so by the time I realized he was slowing down quickly it was too late. I braked hard to avoid collision, causing the rear wheel to slide out. Luckily nothing is broken, but my left leg went down with the bike while my my body hit the ground on the right side. I definitely twisted something as I can't apply weight to the leg. @sshol3 scooter drove off, but another cyclist stopped to move my bike out the lane while I was collecting myself. When will the government finely outlaw scooters in the bike lane? I'll add that I was cycling a bit fast and could have been more careful, yet if that scooter had not sped past me only to hit the brakes this would not have happened.
