One night in Krakow I had sixteen pints and a curry, the next day I, oh, cycling.

On the bike or on my head ?

I did a big one outside the giant shop in Twickenham and the manager called me a twat

The trouble with road cleats is they make it difficult to take your foot off the pedal and shove it onto the top of your back wheel while leaning into a downhill bend, which as everybody knows is the best way to do a skid and the coolest way to get round a corner.

My dad's voice:

"You've taken a year off that tyre!"

I locked up the brakes in the dry so bad last year - I took both tyres down to the inner layer - you could see the innertube. Was a nice skid though.

I didn't realise you could skid a roadie, let alone going uphill, until someone tried to right hook me last summer. And avoided falling over.

I felt quite cool afterwards.

When I was ten years old I tried to do an awesome skid turn at the bottom of the hill near my house. The skid was indeed awesome, but the turn was not - I carried on in a straight line only with the bike turned sideways and on the floor :S Still my biggest skid!

It would have been on me Grifter back in the day.

Probably on my mums old raliegh 20 when I was about 11 , back tyre down to inner tube in one go , flying down the back road in urswick near barrow , no pocket money that week as I had to replace the tyre

My biggest skid was aged around 14 on my "racer".
Went flying round a corner too fast and carried on for around 15 feet, on the deck, still "sitting" on the bike with the wheels turning.
Most recent, impressive skid was on a golf buggy at Aphrodite Hills in Cyprus.
Not forgetting Mr M's pants that I found on the floor this morning.

We used to nick sand from building sites to throw on the road to make skids longer
