First "off"

[Luked1980]

Had my first fall today. Hit some black ice in the cycle lane (covered in leaves) and came off right into the middle of the road.

Driver behind manger to stop before he ran over me and my bike

Cuts and bruises, sore hip, grazed hands but bike survived with just a small bit of plastic chipped off!!

Feel like a real cyclist now!

[Turbo]

Weathers terrible at the moment. Glad your ok.

 

[Luked1980]

Thanks all. Still a little sore. Not getting any sympathy from the wife either. Just I did warn you!

Real cyclists keep the rubber side down! Try not to repeat that too often. Get better soon!

 

[HLaB]

And folk wonder why we don't always use a cycle lane

 

[Pat "5mph"]

GWS and don't use the cycle lanes in this weather.
Stay on the gritted bit of the roads, car behind beeps, wave a cheery hi!

Not always just ask Froome and Contador......

 

[jonny jeez]

Ouch and close one....glad you have taken it in good spirits. Ice is a major worry for me right now and I seem to have become allergic to bends.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Ouch! I'm glad you've come out of it fairly okay and hope it doesn't become a habit .

 

[Boon 51]

Your first off is always a shock to the system hope you recover soon..

 

[Mummy3monkeys]

Oh no, one of my biggest fears, hope you are ok ..
