Thanks guys. I try to be careful with foot position, but I agree that's probably the most likely culprit. I wish that it would only come to a dead stop at less than 2 mph or something.

I was in the middle of a crosswalk, having stopped on the corner, so I'm guessing I was going about 5 MPH. I was wearing flats.

Hi guys,
I'm just sitting here with the entire left side of my body stinging. I was going across a paved crosswalk on a busy street in Seattle. Suddenly the nose just went down and I crashed.

After I scrambled off the street and waved to all the concerned citizens looking at me from the Starbucks, I went to get back on and the OW was off.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I keep getting more and more comfortable with it, then something like this happens and I'm scared to get on it again!

Hi everyone,
We're going into new territory with the OW, and I wonder what the etiquette rules are. For example, I try to go really slow around pedestrians on the sidewalks in Seattle. I don't want to make anyone feel intimidated. We recently saw someone zipping through crowds, and we thought it was kind of rude. I don't want people making a bad name for OW riders.

So what do you think are the rules? What's a considerate way to ride? Should we be on the sidewalks or in the bike lane? What's rude OW etiquette? Discuss...

I've only had my OW a few days, but I'm definitely thinking about what to do with it when you arrive at your destination. I'm in Seattle, so the OW is a gritty mess with leaves stuck all over it when I'm done. It's heavy as hell too so I'm thinking something with wheels, but all I've found thus far I think I'd feel dumb toting around on my back as I ride...

There's this guy, which makes the mannequin look like he's about to fall over.

And then this one.

Do you think these look to big to be riding around with?
