Last night riding home from a ride in the chilterns thought i was losing pressure in my rear tyre as was feeling a bit bumpy back there, did the regulation spread the knees whilst freewheeling and have a look for the bulge below the rim on the road but was a bit dark so had a closer look, head down to bars almost.
As i lifted my head realised i was veering for the curb at some speed. Off balance attempting and failing miserably to correct myself I had no choice to jump ship and let bike fly after ejecting my feet from the cages.
Quite late at night, no witnesses, Could've been worse!
No harm came to bike or self, we just had an embarrassed chuckle between ourselves (gets lonely in the hills) and headed home.
