Did you manage to pea?Halfway through a ride i felt the call of nature, hopped off the bike to have a pee against a tree in a lane, only to stumble on a couple of young'uns having a ride of there own about 10 yards away from the tree!
Posted this before but.........
Bike had toe clips. I turned left onto our drive quite fast but with my right pedal forwards. It locked solid against the front wheel so the bike stopped dead. I carried on going..... straight over the handle bars and straight over the fence. Unfortunately my feet were still in the clips so I was in a heap.... sort of in the garden with the bike hanging off my feet on the drive.
Fortunately no real injury and my first thought was....... get up quickly and hope no one is watching.
Glad it's not too bad, but it's probably worth while getting a tetanus jab.I was bitten by a dog whilst riding up an 11% grade through a tiny French town in the Pyrénées 4 days ago. Fortunately, liberal application of antiseptic cream and a bandaid daily has prevented it from turning ugly. I actually had 4 incisions in my calf from its fangs, and b#gger it hurt getting bit! Needless to say, the 11% grade didn't seem so steep after that.
I had one recently fly right through between my front wheel and downtube, between my legs and cranks, without touching anything. I suspect it didn't even notice me.Not exactly hilarious, but an unusual thing that once happened is that I killed a bird. It flew out of a hedge and tried flying through the front wheel, obviously unable to see the spokes. Result; a small puff of tiny feathers and one very deed blue tit.
