Perfect day?

  • Hey everyone, have yet to contribute much to the forum but thought you'd like this one...

    I was riding along Clapham Road this morning enjoying the sun. There's was no traffic and I took my hands of my handlebars to adjust my bag (I know, it's a bad habit). Unfortunately, another cyclist chose that exact moment to ride straight into the back of me sending me veering off towards the pavement. The next thing I know my left pedal has hit the (rather high) curb and I'm flung over my handlebars by the effect of my cranks being attached to my rear wheel. Somehow I land on my feet but, unable to slow my momentum, I hit the pavement via my elbow. About ten feet behind me I see my bike do something similar but via on its once pristine handlebars.

    Moral of the story: speed up when riding "no hands".

  • Did the other rider help you out?

    I saw a few fixers out there enjoying the sun today.. and a load of cops on bikes (a gaggle?) last night coming back from the pub. They were riding formation.. i got out of there quick..

  • No, he stood there gawping at me as I picked up the bike, then accused me of causing the accident because I was riding with no hands. I managed to get an apology after a few minutes of arguing. A couple of pedestrians were kind enough to help out though. Had to wash my bloody arm in the fountains outside buckingham palace on my way back home! The mall is covered in bike-cops, although I didn't see any gaggles...
