I was riding my shitty 20" folding bike (with 3 speed sturmey archer hub) towards the train station and as I pulled onto the track to get there i saw a couple of people walking along, so I slowed down until they noticed me and then put the power down to go around them and as I did the hub disengaged and threw me into the metal railing beside the train track and then I decided my knees were the perfect thing to stop me. Cue me limping home to patch up both my knees, one deep hole in my thigh and a bruised ego before heading (much slower!) for a later train.
