Ill start, riding to work, see my mate up ahead so speed up to catch him. Mate stops at traffic lights so i sneek up the drop kerb to overtake him along the path...only turns out skinny wheels and drop kerbs dont mix as i dive across the pavement with bike following (pedals with straps). Look up to find its not my mate and there's now a queue of traffic at the lights laughing at me 😆
the chap did stop to see if i was ok, mainly just 😳
your turn
Me, and just as comical.
Wrong gear, sharp uphill in the dark. Ran out of steam and couldn't unclip my left as I laid it down - and due to how steep it was, went over twice...
Just fell off my office chair 😳
Fell off last night when my helmet light got caught on a low branch. Not a nice way to get pulled off the bike....

Serves you right for riding like a cock.
^^^ Blimey! Someone's a happy little soldier today!! 🙄
The curse of the drop kerb that doesn't quite meet flush with the road...
Schoolboy error, but you won't do it again in a hurry!
At least you didn't have the embarrassment of your mate seeing you go sprawling!! 🙂
Glad I hadn't bought a new helmet after last weeks pile driver, because I did it again last night.
Tough helmets the Bell Volt. Really should get a new one now.
Had a SPD issue on Tuesday night. I hit the ground more often when stationary nowadays 🙄
Bought a new helmet cam last week so I thought I'd go down the steepest decent local to me to see what it looked like on film - yep straight over the bars I went so it's sky, mud, sky, mud and then a little girly scream to top it all ?
I'm very happy thanks, lovely ride to work, stayed on the road, didn't jump lights, etc.
Serves you right for riding like a cock.
yep, not denying it...utter show off tool 8)
Does it count if you haven't yet, but know you will later? PF is hopefully delivering my new muni today 😉
*Puts hands up*
*falls off*
Not yet but I am going out tonight so I will.
I think there is something wrong with me I don't feel as though I've been MTBing unless I've fallen off.
Not today but that'll be because I've not ridden a bike since Sunday due to my rib snapping crash then on a gnarly tow path.
I can almost raise my arm above my shoulder now which is awesome progress. The 4 inch long scab is going to be there for a while though.
