As the title says, I fell off twice... in the space of 15 minutes.
I was cycling up a hill and as I got to the top, I realised that it had become really really slippy. Unfortunately there was absolutely nothing I could do, I couldn't turn around because even the slightest movement would make my wheels lose traction and I could get off and walk because the pavement was covered in slushy icy mess. I shifted into a low gear and slowly reached the top of the hill and that's when I came off, my bike just fell to the side and I hit the ground... hard.
The second time was just as I was stopping, I decided that the section of road ahead was too bad but the pavement was okay to walk on so I stopped the bike, somehow the wheels lost traction AGAIN and the bike flew out from under me into the middle of the road - this was made worse by the fact that two people were standing at the bus stop opposite just staring at me.
Stupid ice.
