How many times have you fallen off on-road since 1.1.12?

[QUOTE 2379225, member: 1314"]I'd been on annual leave that day. It was 9.30 pm. I'd been in the pub since 3.[/quote]

Good bit of role modelling there, User!

Once. It was more than plenty: it still hurts.

Either I spectacularly misjudged conditions coming down a (straight!) hill close to home (odd, since I'd managed it without mishap for years beforehand) or the fact that it had become a bus route 10 days before for a company who don't quite seem to have mastered the art of keeping diesel in their vehicles has some connection.

Hmmm. I wonder...

Nil since I first learned to ride 40 odd years ago. Where's my trophy for smuggest git on CC?

And now you have just reminded me....I also had an off due to diesel. Spilled on a corner. Had me off in a millsecond.
So will have to now go back and edit my first answer.
Yeah cheers for the painful reminder.

I do wish all the zero and not since 1837 types the best of luck over the next few months.

One would almost think that you're bitter, Greg. What happened - did you manage a clipless comedy pratfall outside a school or something?

 

[Wobblers]

Yeah cheers for the painful reminder.

Sorry about that.

Once, on the way to Brighton Station after a FNRttC. Yellow beer had nothing to do with it.

Just the once for me. Hurt like hell so I've decided not to do it again!

Twice. One of which straight into a roadside ditch, perfroming a very elegant dive (403C Inward 1 1/2 tuck I recall..), bike on top, full of muddy, icy water! Class! My club-mates are still taking the p*** (can't blame them!)..

3, all spd related. First while getting used to spd. Second because I forgot about spd. Third because spd was playing up, and the shin bruise from that one is still there.

Oooh just missed the date. last fall was on 17 December 2011. but in the 3 months prior to that once a month. I had a wobble on Saturday nipping to the shops but felt the wheel skitter and miraculously corrected it without offing. was well chuffed. I know whats coming tonight now though!

Once on ice and once on a group ride when the front guy braked hard and I was at the back and didn't.

I did a 2 for the price of 1 a couple of years ago, offed by the ice and snow so decided to walk but got bored so back on the bike and then off again on the very next corner.
