Thud

My comment:

It's the written form to describe the sound of a fall with noise. To me this is an onomatopoeia describing the fall off the bike. Thud would be a good word (Pay attention, it is not a translation, only a sugestion) but there might be others.

My references:

It is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes. Onomatopoeia refers to the property of such words. Common occurrences of onomatopoeias include animal noises, such as "oink" or "meow" or "roar" or "chirp". Onomatopoeias are not the same across all languages; they conform to some extent to the broader linguistic system they are part of; hence the sound of a clock may be tick tock in English, dī dā in Mandarin, or katchin katchin in Japanese.

Thud is the result of the fall, when something hits the grounds. Not when it falls. But a thud is a dull sound. Wham is probably better ....
