Riding my nearly new at the time Trek hybrid, ambling along with the wife. I saw a coke can in the road and in an instant thought i was a teenager again ...i rode up, and bounced the front wheel onto the can, crushing it...
Trouble was....in that instant, the can wrapped round the tyre, travelled with it as it rotated until it reached the brakes....instant stop .
The bike up ended, i flew oh so gracefully over the handlebars but somehow kept upright and almost landed running, didnt even fall over. The bike clattered all over the tarmac, the wife laughed like a gutter and kept going...'i'm not with you, you numpty'
