Cycled home today carrying 10kg of ankle weights in a carrier bag which broke.
Fell off six times before I decided to push it.
I lost my Sigma Targa cycle computer, I broke my airzound and my wedgebag!
All in all my ride/walk home was pants.

Sheesh, sounds terrible!

I had one off trying to ride up a steep slow covered path until I just wheel spinned and fell over on the side I hadn't unclipped from, but your trip ......!

I think I would have given up and phoned for a lift.

Where in London? I didn't ride home but the roads looked fine, my front brake blocks finally ran out of rubber on the ride in so I decided toleave the bike at work

You tried to carry 10kg in a bag on the handlebar?

 

[semislickstick]

Stop drinking so much then!

(...at least no broken bones.)

I rode to work this morning, but i did walk all the way home, i could have cycled on the main roads, but i needed to bring a car battery home for the other halfs car, so it was battery in one hand and push the bike with the other, now i know why they call them push bikes.
PS My arms don't arf ache.

Perhaps its the wrong time of year to be commuting on a unicycle?

Next time, place battery on saddle/rucksack/strapped to bike and walk the bike :doh

The main roads were fine there were just slushy it was the side roads near my house.
The bag has come off the bracket.
No I was riding with one hand and holding the carrier bag in the other hand and swapping as each arm got tired.
When I was pushing the bike I had one hanging off each grip.

Rule 9.1 - If you ride in the snow, one-handed, carrying a bad of weights, you are BADASS.

 

[thegravestoneman]

every one needs a butchers bike in their life weights, car batteries pah!

Blimey, that's jogged a memory. When I was 12 I used ride one of those all around Paddington and that part of west London delivering meat to customers and hotels for a local butcher.

 

[thegravestoneman]

bet you had legs like ham shanks.

 

[redcard]

Would have made sense to put the ankle weights on your...... ankles, rather than making a fool of yourself riding 1-handed?

 

[markharry66]

and bloody dangerous to yourself and other road users cycling one handed in the snow. Personally I would have opted for safer route of public transport
