i have a scar for welllll for being a stupid child! i was riding my cheap little BSO (bicycle shaped object) down a hill on a private road on a campsite and then coming up the other side of the road was a van so i decided to swerve and get off the road out of he way (i wasn't even in the way) and then hit a great big rock at the side of the road and came off BADLY cue lots of !
note to self: nurses picking tarmac and grit out of one knee that is covered in alcohol to sterilize it is bl**dy painful!
Cheers Ed

I've only come off my bike twice. Both school girl errors. Twice I'd have laughed if I'd have been a bystander. (but then I am a bit cruel)

1. Took a corner too fast. slid on black ice. Was more bothered about who witnessed it. A white van man did. OF ALL THE PEOPLE *tuts*
B. (And a common one - right of passage, I'm led to believe) Unclipped left. Fell to the right. Standing still.

*sigh*

Maybe I should take up smoking or something else less dangerous.

Hello.
...I still have plantar faciitis...
It looks like the fresh air will not be an option for the foreseeable as over the weekend, I managed to fall off the toilet, braking my hand. It is now in a cast. There *may* have been alcohol involved.

I've been off work for the past two days and I'm bored to death. Today, I googled turbo training whilst in a cast and I discovered you guys.

So. Hello

Will be attempting a small session in the morning......

I had plantar faciitis in both feet - extremely painful!
Hope the hand heals quick and you can get out on the bike soon

you aren't alone on the clipping out accident it is all part of owning pedals and shoes like that! i haven't had it yet but then again my first pair of clip-less (clip in!) pedals shall be in the post to me soon, so we shall see how many injuries they can cause me then!
will probably be coming off on the busy A28 the one and only A road near me that i hate with 50mph zones in places!
Cheers Ed

Have you done this session yet, I'm anxious to know if you stayed on the bike?

 

[byegad]

I only read the first post, and decided to bug out before I fall over.

 

[Di Di]

Yes. Thank you. I managed a short one. Just short sharp sprints. A bit difficult but not impossible.

AND I DIDN'T FALL OFF

Think my cadence sensor has also fallen off the loo as it reckoned in the 30 mins, I managed a whopping 1.1 miles.

It's measuring cadence but not speed.

Stoopid thing.

to the forum!

 

[i hate hills]

Welcome Di Di sorry to hear about your mishaps. Hope you are able to get back on the bike soon . All the best and .....stay safe, Mike

 

[Biker Joe]

Hello Di Di

I too, prefer running on the fells to the roads (when I get the chance)

Roads are just a way of' getting the distance in'

Last time I was up near you, if you live in the area of your chosen running-club, was for the (Bingley Harriers) 'Harriers v Cyclists', even though it wasn't my day & I suffered this year.
