When I was a 16 was bombing along Nottingham canal to work, there was a bridge and lose gravel gave way to wet cobble stones, A lady was walking in the opposite direction, touched brakes front wheel locked up and off I went. I slid along the cobbles my bike went into the canal! Somehow my bike managed to come to rest inupright and my handlebars and saddle was poking up out the water!
