Last night in the middle of Covent Garden I got slightly over excited* with the fact I can simultaneously detach both wheels from the ground and didn't realise I "jumped" onto a pedestrian crossing within a few inches from a black cab... I ended up on the ground, crashing my front wheel on the way down and had to cycle back home with a damaged spoke and a nipple loose inside the rim, like a gigantic baby rattle. Not fun.
*plus pint of Guinness on the empty stomach.
