Dropped it today.

[Phil485]

Really annoyed with myself. A couple of miles from home after a 60 mile club ride turned left around a corner and the bike just slid away from me.

Damage not to bad to bike, both shifters scratched and bent, rear skewer scrapped and handlebar tape scuffed.
Bibs, jacket and shoe covers ripped. Helmet took a Big Bang , glad it wasn't my head that hit the road that hard.
Starting to stiffen up and bruises coming through.

Just as a reminder to all....

Them roads are slippy. Don't let your guard down.

Sorry to hear of your accident. Get well soon. And be careful.

 

[solidthegreat]

Glad you are not too bad. We all need to be careful out there at this time of year. Another advert for a good quality helmet. Get well soon.

 

[ianrauk]

Sorry to hear about this. Yep, plenty of leaf mulch, mud and moss making things tricky.

 

[ScotiaLass]

Ouch. Hope you don't feel too sore.

 

[Chrisc]

Nasty.
I always used to ask about the bike first but having done it myself I realise that can be fixed.
I on the other hand take bloody ages to heal! Hope you don't.

 

[Albert]

Hope you and the bike get fixed soon.

Had the same about 2 weeks ago on a patch of diesel...slippy stuff.

 

[Doyleyburger]

Hope your ok bud.
Deffo time to upgrade my cheapo helmet

 

[John Shingler]

Same happened to me yesterday. Turned right into a side road and bike went straight from underneath me without warning. Bibs damaged, hole in my brand new gloves. Rear mech and pedals grazed ...as was my leg but that will heal.

It is very slippy out there at the moment.

 

[Leodis]

Sticking to Turbo until Spring, just too risky at the moment with leafs, damp paint and then ice.

 

[Bryony]

Ouch Hope you heal up soon.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Time for a new helmet, definitely. One good crash and they are done. Get well soon, bicycle as well.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

GWS to both of you.
It's always more sore a few days after, eh?
