Rolling over st katherine's dock se1 walkway. It's ped only wooden walkway and so I should get off but quick check and there is no one around so I slowly roll down checking for peds..
All of a sudden, i'm falling forwards... Falling so fast, my front end is going down and oh my god i'm going falling into the river.. long story short I stay on my feet falling forwards while my pedal cuts up my shin..
Bike finishes back wheel in the air upright. My front wheel had slipped in-between two wooden slots that make up the bridge and got stuck. Had to carefully pull it out but no damage to bike thankfully.
Lesson is, walk over there...
