Well it had to happen, I’ve had the Triban 3 since August and have done hundreds of miles without incident and have just fallen off turning right on a roundabout.
Its proper shook me up and knocked my confidence a bit. Luckily the tipper truck driver who was behind waited for me to pick myself up.
I’ve hurt my leg and have some road rash on my knee but it just feels like cramp in the back of my leg. I can still drive so that’s the main thing.
I really didn’t feel I was going too fast so honestly didn’t expect it to go from under me, there were no drain covers or anything.
Is it just a case of being really carefull cornering on a road bike in cold conditions or would a tyre upgrade help as I’ve read the standard B Twin tyres are a bit crap. Thinking about it, I locked the rear wheel about 5 mins previous to coming off just braking firmly to let a bus out. The MTB wouldn’t have locked up at that braking and speed.
Suppose I just need to get used to skinny tyres……..
