I regularly cycle around the Broads and have never fallen off with clipless. Today however I was pulling in by a staithe where I normally stop for a drink and as its the summer the place was heaving with boats.
As it was so nice I decided to pull up next to the bench by the river which meant consciously pulling my left foot out first. Distracted for a second by what I thought was a bikini clad beauty I actually removed my right foot as habit dictates.
Oh the hilarity as I went sideways quite spectacularly into the river, bike following close behind, how much more amusing it was for everyone when I had to climb out and borrow a line to pull the bike out of the water.....it needed a clean and I was very hot but this was pushing it. ...and the bikini beauty ? Nope, old enough to be my grandmother, and I'm 44.
Anyone top that ?
