I had a very expensive Muni ride today! I was out riding a local trail when I lost control on a steep, loose rocky section, tried to run it out but couldn’t, and did a slip-and-slide onto the jagged rocks! You can see it at about the 1:15 mark in the video. I hit the ground pretty hard, got a little scratched up, but what I didn’t realize till I got back to my car, was that I had totally smashed my smartphone — that I had stupidly left in my side pocket — and had fallen directly on it. I think you can actually hear it breaking in the video but I wasn’t aware of it at the time. So I drove to the local Metro store and $150 later, I had a new phone. That’s what I call an expensive Muni ride!
Thanks, I was lucky that only the screen was broken. I took it to a repair shop and he was able to replace the screen while I waited, and it’s working fine again, all files unharmed.
The forearm/elbow guards are pretty old amd made by sixsixone, but they stopped making those years ago. I found these on eBay and it looks like an updated version:
There are many other brands available if you search for cycling forearm guards.
