No idea what happened really, maybe my front brake snatched or something but I managed what I'm convinced was a spectacular forward somersault over the bars landing into a 10/10 forward roll last night turning right at a mini roundabout in Highgate. The guy in the car waiting to get onto the roundabout looked rather surprised as though he wasn't expecting for me to be sitting down on the road next to his bumper.
One tiny scratch on my elbow, a bit of a bruise above my right buttcheek and that's it. Still not quite sure what happened, but I think the long and short of it was that I was going too fast.
