2008-06-14 - Rider Down, Drunken Twat

So I went out and had a few beers. Saw Chris Crash (good luck tomorrow dude) and Small Brown Bike & Delphina.

Had 'a few drinks' and cycled home. Was going really hard up the slight incline towards Notting Hill and actually sort of passed out. Hit the curb about 3 times then fell on my arse.

Really proud that I held onto my handlebars and laughing at myself for being such a twat. Already acheing - reckon I'm gonna be a bag of bones in the morning.

Road rash + knackered shoe seems to be the sum total of the damage...

What a twat!
(completely broken shoe attached)

^ hahah! take an ibuprofen and come to oxford..

A fixed gear rider can't just have a few drinks, its get shit faced or bust. It's more fun biking drunk anyhow. I've never crashed or passed out on my way home, but I've definitely blacked out and completely forgotten riding home.

Good luck with the bag of bones in the morning tho man!

Good reason for new shoes.

Those Dragons are pretty reasonable.

Bad luck Jim. Why the photo in a mirror though?

As for the buckle, you should be able to pick up a replacement pair on the web somewhere. Depending on the shoe style.

It's the way the web camera on my Mac seems to work. Points for attention to detail tho.

Bit sore today and having to hide the road rash so that I don't have to explain to the Mrs what happened. She's not a fan of drunk cycling ;)

You passed out whilst riding? Nice!

How did you even get on the bike in the first place?

You can disable it I believe in one of the menu bars, if you want to.

I was pedaling really hard and sort of saw stars and next thing I knew my front wheel was bumping into the curbstone repeatedly. Then I was on my arse.

Stupid really. All I needed to happen then was a bunch of Yoot to nick my bike & twat me (eh Ma3k?)

You can get spare buckles for Sidis on them internets, I believe.

When I'm drunk my bike likes to crash into parked cars, three times so far this year... Never passed out while on the bike tho', that's class! :D

I'd condem you to hell, but I've done a similar thing while drunk a few times.

ah ah ah, glad it isn't too serious mind.

riding stoned is so much more fun.

i'm trying to cut back on riding whilst pissed.
