[#7813845]

Just sitting here waiting to be picked up by Mrs SR, as I have had an 'off'. Turning off one paved path onto a cobbled section, the bike shot out from under me like I was on ice.

Apparently, we have just enough rain to bring the slime to the surface, but not enough to wash it away.

Whatever the case, my elbow hurts. ๐Ÿ™

consider yourself no better than Cancellara ๐Ÿ˜

(edit) Hang on, weren't you going to ride with molgrips? Did he leave you grovelling on the cobbles and ride off laughing?

Caught me out a couple of years ago too; as I flew toward the ground it seemed like a good a time as any to high five the pavement, except it wasn't and result was painful swollen thumb for however long it was.

Jon Bon Jovi discovered this ~30 years ago and decided to make it the title of an album! ๐Ÿ˜†

Does this require a bike forum to get this info out in the open though...?

Try a therapist.

Christ fella! Is there [b]anything[/b] that doesn't warrant a new thread from you?

Weird response. As, I might add, is the one above it.

Over the years I have been on here, we have discussed everything from religion to video games to vehicles to wood burners to bike parts.

I had a fall, was sitting with my phone waiting to be picked up, and thought my situation would either elicit a smile or grimace of recognition seeing as we have all likely been in the same situation at one time or another.

Is it so odd that I might have started a bit of banter about it?

I for one am glad you reported this incident, BBC breaking news have completely missed it!

Ignore them
Some folk start threads some dont - I almost never start them
If you dont want to read dont - its not like the thread title didn't give it away

Get well soon OP

You carry on SR. Some good discussions and comedy (joe cocker) come from your threads.

Hope the damage is nothing serious.
