Saw someone else having a moment not long ago; was cycling past Liverpool st. stn whilst the road works were taking place. The whole left side of the road was blocked off with traffic being diverted. Me and a mate head down the loosely blocked off road anyway, followed by a bloke on a shitty mountain bike wearing city (as apposed to cycling) clothes. Up ahead of me i spot what appears to be a line of wet cement about 15 foot across, and 3 foot wide. I consider going through it, as it doesn't look more than a few centimeters deep. Think better of it, and at the last minute and skid to a stop infront of it. Bloke behind is clearly tring to pick up his pace... i shout to him "i'd stop if i were you" (or words to that affect), he gives me a puzzled look, rides straight into what turns out to be a 2 foot deep cement line! Front wheel fully submerged, as were both his legs, and one of his arms. He actually did well to not go face first into it, managing to somehow leapfrog over his bars.
Funniset thing i have EVER seen. I laughed for days afterwards! :)
