Granted, I was passed by more joggers (a runner basically caused this) than cyclists, but as I stood bleeding from my face, every single person simply passed by with eyes straight forward.

I had just face planted after dodging a runner, then having my front wheel catch the small gap of a runoff, causing me to endo, full force onto my face. I don't think any passerby could have done anything, but, if I were to see someone injured, I would stop to at least offer something. I still had to bike 2 miles to my car, then go through two urgent care clinics.

So, f-you, weekend trail people.
