feeling embarrassed

today i was riding my bike down the Ransom hill from the grcc library to my next class on my fixed gear bike. Was going pretty fast because i had a green light and didnt want to have to stop. The light turned yellow so i had to skid to stop. When i tried to skid my chain popped off the cogs leaving me brakeless. I tried to put my foot on the front tire to slow me down but somehow ended up falling to my left and sliding on my side for a few feet. felt pretty embarrassed. luckily it was still fairly early in the morning so there weren't many people to see it happen. still embarrassed.

makes me think i need to do a better job working on my bike or put on a brake. deffinately dont want to put on a brake.
