A few decades ago I borrowed my brothers bike to pop to the off licience, and then to see a man about a dog (well buy some grass).
He had the metal bits to thread straps through (although no straps).
Leaving the off licience, I relised I had no bag for my fourpack of bottled pilsner. I could'nt be bothered to go back, so I carried the beer under my arm and cycled off. Thinking this was is a bit stupid and unsafe, I slowed right down. Then while cutting through the school I hit a speed bump, and the bike stopped due to my lack of speed....
Tilt
Topple
Panick
Smash
Ouch
...and there I was lying in a pool of blood and beer.
Idiot!
