Screw sheet ice.

Walked the dog at 6 this morning and I was like bloody Bambi on the ice.

My decision to drive was vindicated when I spotted a cyclist performing a perfect 270 degree pirouette before going splat on his aris.

I went outside this morning at around 7am onto the wooden patio and went @rse over tip. Landed on my back and hit my head. Ow. Of course Mr WD was very sympathetic. NOT. Be careful out there folks.

 

[welsh dragon]

Did he suggest you should have been wearing a helmet?

Funnily enough no, but I did hit my head. What he said was, " are there any photos".

I take it you were wearing high viz though, else how would he ever have found you out there in the dark?

Luckily no one saw me make a complete pr@tt of myself, sprawled on my back oh er missus. But I sustained broken fingernail, a jarred back, and sore fingers where I tried to grab hold of the railing, but my street cred (if ever i had any) is still intact.

Well, apart from the fact you have just announced your ungainly splat to potentially hundreds of CycleChat readers....

I too chose to drive in this morning because of the ice, nearly went a over t on the car park though despite it having been gritted.

Oh no! Hope you're not too sore

 

[welsh dragon]

Oh no! Hope you're not too sore

I'm fine thanks SL. My pride was hurt more than anything else.

Just put that through a translation tool and I got:-

Used weak excuse to drive in and didn't fall over in car park

-3.2 on my ride in this morning.
No concerns or slips, even on shiny corners. But my bike does sound as if I'm riding on rice crispies (ice tyres fitted).

Glad you're ok @welsh dragon
