Dumped on the tarmac

So it would seem that trying to pull off quickly from a junction when your front wheel has found it's way into a rut, isn't such a good idea.....

I'm not sure I understand how you got your wheel stuck in that. It looks like a transverse rut.

It is, but it is reasonably deep, so as I started to pull awy the front wheel just wouldn't lift out of it. The profile of the rut was probably a close fit for my tyre!

Just the normal fayre here.Same old 5h1t and no surprises except a land rover at the 2012 site being more important than everyone else and not bothering to stop at two sets of temporary lights.I see there is going to be a major falling out between me and some of the clowns driving round there.Will check your video later.

Ouch, hope there was no damage to bike or yourself - but mostly the bike

Luckily all was well, except for one of my rear lights. Once home I noticed one was missing. Luckily I have a spare!

Bad luck with that one Magnatom, it just shows how everything on the road needs to be treated with care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that is a strange one.

Maggers - Strange one indeed. Good job you weren't catapulted on to the main road.

Hackers - I drove that bit of road towards Stratford a couple of weeks ago on the way to and from the inlaws. It was never the most gentle of introduction to London driving at the best of times, but with all those lights it's like something from Mad Max. Glad it's only once o month for me.

Bit of a comedy moment. Done similar on a leaf covered drain....bang............right in front of a queue of cars I'd just filtered past on the outside to the ASL....

Glad all is well.......
