offed today...by a DUCK!

[marshmella]

Yes thats right, this morning start out at 6.25 on my usual commute, which is road followed by canal towpath then road again, well on the towpath section going down a ramp at the side of a lock, a flipping duck decides at the last second to waddle onto the gravelly path in front of me. well i'm not going too fast but braked and swerved at the same time, not clever that, lost control and ended up in a heap on the grassy bit where the duck had been!:Anyway nothing badly hurt and bike ok.....duck untouched and unharmed

Did you waddle a bit afterwards, landing in a heap like that?

 

[Nigeyy]

Sorry you ran a fowl. You could have avoided it -did you try to duck under it or even feather your brakes to avoid going (Eider) down?

 

[fossyant]

Ducking hell !
