I am still not sure it was a manhole cover to be honest? Do they put them in the middle of the road? It may have just been a bit of oil of something else slippery in the road. Id like to think it wasnt just my bike handling as i normally am able to stay upright 99% of the time but its entirely possible im just not a very good cyclist. I have been watching a lot of bike racing on youtube gearing up to start doing some races next season, maybe subconsciously i wanted to be like the cool kids with their road rash.
