Yeah that was me.
Long story. Riding from Penrith to Elephant and Castle, somewhere just south of Sheffield, a red squirrel ran out in front of me, it went through the front wheel and made me go over the bars a full 360 degrees. Luckily as you can see: flat pedals. I just put my feet down and completed the manoeuvre without hitting the ground.
Bike intact but squirrel not so - he escaped but left his tail firmly lodged in the front spokes. I carried on riding with the "furry spokecard" anyway.Later on i punctured on a bit of glass and as I never carry inner tubes (just media hype), I used the squirrel tail to fill the tyre, bosh.
Erm...
