Brilliant Sir Quinn! It reminds me of one of own epic fail, on a foot bridge over the train tracks, in the little town I was crossing to go visit my grand parents, during all my life, until one day...

I had to buy a new fork, and a new headset because the new fork was international thread and the old one french thread... going to the local bike shop getting the stuff I needed on my grand father's moped... happy days...

Are you all right, Aaron? Was this recent?

Are you all right, though, Niall? Was this recent?

Glad that it sounds as if you weren't hurt, Loïc.

:)

Thanks for the concern, it is all very touching. Although mental, this was a long time ago. First time using V-brakes. Ended up with a scar on my elbow and a edge of the kerb shaped lump on the back of my head.

On a similar note, I hope all the other illustrated mishaps haven't resulted in permanent injury, we can all laugh at the silly spills.

Oz. can fuck off.

I might draw my other favourite stupid crash later. Me, same bike, 100 yards into my ride home from work, changing gear/chainring while out of the saddle, chain hop, foot hits ground, stack over the bars onto my face, claret aplenty, looked like Harvey Two Face when the med-evac showed up. Spanner. There was probably some poo, this was Belfast.

H, where shall we meet?

The steps ARE made of poo, as clearly specified in box number 4, I comply!

Nicely drawn!

Quite some time ago. The horror of squeezing my brakes as hard as I could and still accelerating towards my doom is still very fresh in my mind, however.
It's taken me a while to work out how best to draw it.

The wicker basket absorbed most of the impact and was largely fine.
My (then) nice new Sigg stainless water bottle got scratched and dented though. Boo.

Is that the bridge I think it is, at the end of Old Ford Road on the way to Grobag Towers? I remember seeing a young fixie skidder epically fail and crash into the barrier whilst trying to do a flash skid around it, and trying not to laugh too hard as I picked him up and asked if he was ok

That's the one.
I hate those barriers. They have littered the canal with them now too, especially that little humpback bridge by Kings Cross. Now you can't get enough speed up to ride up the bloody bridge.

I remember those, bit annoying when you're riding a brakeless fixie skidder.

And that area is littered with dog shits all over, what up with this? why is it very pronounced in that area? I kept having to look carefully to not smear myself with dog shit when trying to get to Grobag Tower.

Glad you're alright, though about putting a drum brake at the front just to be on the safe side?

If I could find a stainless 26x1&3/8 rim with a rod-operated drum brake it would be nice to try out.
But I don't want cable brakes on it. No matter how crap the roller-levers are, they do look lovely.

I've hit that barrier. Drunk, far too fast and accidentally unclipping whilst attempting to slow down.

LOVE this thread- here is my collision from Jan this year- still waiting for the van man's insurance to pay for my personal injury :-

fuck !

that was a nice piece of driving. arsehole...

This thread continues to be great.

BlueQuinn, you need to do something about those brakes! I thought your Raleigh was well drawn.

stevo_com good effort, liked the use of clipart.

I never realised Henry was also eyebrows, how did I miss this!?

Cunning like a fox.

This happened about 3 months back, on Upper St at 3am.
