Nice clipless moment!

Right outside my office last night, just slid in front of a van full of workmen that were in the cycle box and hence had to go slightly uphill, went into my normal trackstand but just couldn't get balanced right. Nevertheless I felt sure I was fine, loads of pedestrians walking by and then I suddenly knew that I had gone from just not feeling my normal good balance to the point where I was going to lose it!

Down I went!

A nice girl asked me if I was okay as I managed to get my foot out of the pedal and struggle back to my foot. Luckily the lights changed and I just pegged it off and away.

Yeah whatever. Did you manage to get her number, though?

Glad you are still in one piece. Normally the embarrassment hurts more than the fall!

She was too busy smirking at me for anything else!

I must say I find the lack of concern for Dom's welfare very disappointing, to say the least. Comments like 'ha ha' and 'LOL' are hurtful and cruel.

He posted it to amuse (which it did).

You of all people should understand that.

Doing a trackstand, losing your balance, outside your work = fanny.

You can't argue with that Maths.

Looking on the bright side, at least you weren't outside a farm, and at least your fall wasn't cushioned by cow shoot[1] Dom.

I think I got away with it, occasionally there are a few people from my team smoking in the vicinity but not at that time. I do chat to the security guards who would be more likely to have spotted it but no one said anything this morning and I made a point of looking the other way!

I'd love to have seen the van full of workmen though! Bet they were pissing themselves!

Interesting chat up technique, do find it works often??

I'm sure the only thing that was hurt was Dom's pride.

Thanks for the present Dom!
