Theres something just wrong about having a bike off when no one else is involved.
I remember cycling through regents park a few years ago on my mtb, spd pedals in new user gaff, taking a left turn with left pedal in 6 oclock position, pedal hit the ground and catapaulted me off the bike and landing on my back and the bike landing on top of me somehow unclipped somewhere in that carnage.
Also another time gunning it down bow flyover eastbound, the nearest set of traffic lights went red and 2 coaches blocked both lanes so I couldnt filter through again on my wide barred mtb. Realised a little too late i wouldnt make it so jammed on the disc brakes and actually had to drop the bike and jump off or I would have rammed myself up the back of the car in front of me!
Worst thing was the coachload of people on my right staring down at me as I lay on my back staring into space!
Good times!
