dumped on me arse…

i went to get some cash out at sainsburys prior to the club run today, but there was a nigerian sounding chap advising that the cash machine had issues with swallowing cards. thought better of it, so i decided to nip into macc town centre to use an atm there.

having decided to nip onto the pavement where a pedestrianised section starts, i found myself lying on my back in full lycra in front of a load of passing onlookers. at least i was up quick, a wry smile on my face. was a bit of a bugger having to put the chain back on, which meant oily fingers for the rest of the day, but i at least still managed 100km, even if i had been dropped by the end).

Ah - so only loss of face injury then (as you did your 100k after). But what caused the fall? Silly kerb or ????????

to get to a cash machine on said pavement.

basically the angle was too oblique and the front wheel skidded in the gutter.

as always, my look delta cleats separated me from bike perfectly.

Yeah, I did that last winter on my winter hack, on my own street, trying to bypass a van blocking the road. Big Apple tyres, but I'm hopeless at kerbs, so the bike just stopped. I ended up grabbing a drainpipe to stay upright. Not even clipped in either!

I never even try to hop up kerbs now, I'm too worried about looking daft....
