When's the last time you wiped out?

Stopped at a junction when icy earlier this year. Vertical to horizontal in less than 0.5 seconds.

Did the same in January when it snowed, 20c tyres + snow nftw.

Day before yesterday while pegging it up the Tottenham Court Road.

Give a big kick to catch the lights at Goodge St only to find the cog ain't on tight enough and it just zips round. I'm thrown off balance and go into a death weave back and forth across the lane till I can hold it no longer. Big scraped knee and I'll be walking funny for a couple of days yet.

Almost had a similar incident a few days ago. I forgot about it as well and tried to skid later on a scared the shit out of myself as I carried on at the same speed for a millisecond.

Also stacked on ice. Foolishly decided to roll over the top of a mini roundabout than risk going around it in a tight turn. Seems the lovely friction free surface that is white road paint still had a healthy coating of ice. Complete backwheel fail.

I remember once following my mate whilst bombing a huge hill with a mini roundabout at the bottom. We were flying down the hill and the easiest line to take was straight over the roundabout. We must have been pushing a good 30 mph and as we get to within 5 metres of it we both let out a simultaneous 'FFFFFFUUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!' it wasn't a hump style one but a raised one with a 6 inch high kerb style edge, not what you want to be hitting at the speed we were going. Cue both of us pulling off emergency 'do or die' bunnyhops that had to clear at least 9 foot, we did it but were absolutely buzzing after, our eyes looked like we had munched a handful of ecstasy.
