ianrauk said:A Bit of the Jens Voight faceplant action, (but nowhere near as bad..).
Cycling through a park went to turn left, bike decided to throw me to the ground. Was not going at speed so must have hit some some vegetable matter or gunk, front wheel just went from under me. Bike is ok as went down on my left.
Have taken some skin off my left leg and shoulder, ribs hurt a little, couple of scraped knuckles and a bruised palm. Thank gawd for cycling gloves.
Anyways, off to the Tea thread for a cuppa and some sympathy..
Watt-O said:Ouch! It wasn't the right turn on Ladywell cycle path, at the bridge into Malyons Road per chance? I came off last there on Wednesday. going very gingerly (avoiding the two manhole covers) as it was wet but the front wheel decided not to cooperate. Ended up with nasty grazes and bruises on elbow, knee, hip, shoulder and sprained thumb. All part of the fun of cycling!
I meant to say left, heading intio Malyons Road. Bloody lethal!ianrauk said:at that exact place mate, except turning left onto the bridge trying to avoid the manhole covers.
