"Oh Shit" moments...

Got to Marble Arch this morning on my fixed to start my window cleaning round. Turned the corner, and the ladder got caught across the front of two busses coming the other way. Next thing I knew, I'd gone backwards at 30mph all the way to Fairoak.

Need more of these.

backwards at 30mph!?? i would shat my pants

that's because apparently you're not the quick type.

This was in comedy fast forward I assume? Repped by the way.

haha yeah apparently so...

Never know how ill end up any way, i have come a long way in a year

Awesome, the nowhere farce continues.

On New Oxford St this morning. Two cyclists going opposite ways towards each other, both on fixed. Without warning, a chap comes out of an alley carrying a ladder on his shoulder, straight into the road.

Catches both of them square on, they all spin round in a complete circle 3 times, then head off back the way they've just come, totally oblivious to what's happened.

Judging by how many fixie fuckwits ride and their lack of awareness this could be true.

Because there are no pictures with pixels for me to question I believe the account is genuine.

So far i think Velomancer is winning on this page. Got any photos of what your wheels looked like afterwards?

Nah. Saved the hubs and spokes but the rims were fooked.

Awesome, the nowhere farce continues.

Shush now.

Call for your 'oh fk moment’**
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]You know that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you messed up at work?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]When there's nothing you can do about it,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]you can't deny it and you and the consequences need to have a little chat.[/SIZE]

You slept through the alarm, you left porn in the work laptop, you added an extra zero to the bank transfer, you miscalculated where that oil drill should start penetrating the earth, you caught the little boy who's not allowed sugar, drinking from a massive bottle of coke.

[SIZE=3] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]We are looking for stories of the moment you realised you made a massive mistake, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]when time slowed and your heart behaved like a sound system and your mouth went 'oh f**k'.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Hannah Jane Walker and Chris Thorpe are making a theatre show called 'The oh fk moment' and would like to hear about ridiculous and everyday fk ups from all parts of the working world. The kind of stories you hear in the pub or the school playground. Those day to day stories that induce horror in the listener but also massive mess ups that have consequences for a person or an organisations life or business. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]If you have one of these stories and are happy to share it, we would be literally, delighted to hear it. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]'The oh f**k moment' is about mistakes made at work and is interested in how big mistakes change things, most significantly the dawning moment of realising what you have done. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]It is not so much about what you do next, but that horrible moment when you are falling with the fact of your action. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]The show will be performed for a small audience, within a disused office block.[/SIZE]

nothing that some Savlon won't cure

Looks very much as if he's jammed a chop-stick through his leg in some dubious form of cheating.

Silly thing to do, it might hurt.

When i realised that id mixed up KY jelly and Marmite again..........

I just had my chain come off while pedalling like a loon down a steep hill. Chain jammed chainring, locked the rear wheel, and I skidded for a while until the rear tyre exploded.
I managed to keep it upright, steering into the fish tailing skids as if I knew what I was doing but sadly had to call the wife taxi as the hole in the tyre was way too big for a repair.

ooooops lordy, glad youre o.k
if you cant twiddle it down at full rpm,

could be time to clip out and get the feet on the down tube for the fun of it :-)

Woman darted across a junction when it was on a red (for her) and was literally an inch for clipping my front tire. My BPM went to at least 170!

Nice work, well handled. Glad that a new tire is the extent of the damage.

Oh sh*t moment this morning as I flew through the air as I was sent sprawling to the cobbles by a dunce nodder. No look, no signal, no apology as she turned right into me. A 10 metre slide later, I'm just glad I got my 3/4s in a sample sale!

Had my moment yesterday morning on Tower Bridge, heading towards the crossroads, I'm in the middle of two lanes, but want to turn left up ahead, so I look for a gap and cross behind a van - which suddenly brakes - turns out my brakes are shite in the wet and I go steaming into the back - fortunately my front wheel slides left along the bumper and I shoulder the back door. My feet have unclipped themselves so I don't hit the floor, as there are pedestrians looking on and the van is driving off (and doesn't stop), I decide to check out the damage round the corner, but everything seems OK.
Amazed the van driver didn't notice - he might notice the clean section on the back of his van though!

reminds me of a mate of mine who was leaning on a van whilst still clipped in, in heavy traffic, when the lights changed. The van moved off and my mate grabbed a the door handle to stay upright, but the sliding door opened. When it did the driver braked and my mate ended up on the floor of the van, still clipped in.
